The correct Answer is:
To determine which match among the given statements is false, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: CO2 accepted in the mesophyll cells of maize is a 3-carbon compound.** - In C4 plants like maize, CO2 is initially fixed in the mesophyll cells. The primary molecule that accepts CO2 is phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which combines with CO2 to form oxaloacetate, a 4-carbon compound. This statement is misleading because it refers to CO2 as a 3-carbon compound, which is incorrect. The correct initial fixation product is a 4-carbon compound, not a 3-carbon compound. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **false**. 2. **Statement 2: Common substrate in both the aldolase catalyzed reactions in the PCR cycle is DHAP.** - In the photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) cycle, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is indeed a common substrate for aldolase reactions. Aldolase catalyzes the condensation of DHAP with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, among other reactions. This statement is **true**. 3. **Statement 3: Triosugar formed by reduction of 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid in bundle sheath cells of C4 plants is PGA.** - The reduction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) in the bundle sheath cells leads to the formation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), not phosphoglycerate (PGA). Therefore, this statement is **false**. 4. **Statement 4: Common product produced in both the transketolase catalyzed reactions in the PCR cycle is xylulose 5-phosphate.** - In the transketolase reactions of the PCR cycle, xylulose 5-phosphate is indeed a common product formed from the rearrangement of carbon skeletons. This statement is **true**. ### Final Conclusion: The false statements are **Statement 1** and **Statement 3**. However, since the question asks for one false match, we can conclude that **Statement 3** is the most directly incorrect regarding the specific product formed in the bundle sheath cells of C4 plants. ### Answer: **The false statement is: "Triosugar formed by reduction of 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid in bundle sheath cells of C4 plants is PGA."** ---
