Which of the following set of pathways is similar between plants and animals?
I.
Electron transport and the dark reactions of photosynthesis
II.
Electron transport and the light reactions of photosynthesis
III.
The Hatch-Slack pathway (C-4) and pyruvate carboxylase
A) I only
B) II only
C) III only
D) I, III
E) II, III

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both plants and animals use electron transport during cellular respiration, which is similar to the light reactions of photosynthesis in plants. Additionally, both use pyruvate carboxylase to convert pyruvate into a usable energy source, which is similar to the Hatch-Slack pathway in plants. Therefore, II and III are similar pathways between plants and animals.
