Statement I: | Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. |
Statement II: | There is a linear relationship between incident light and carbon dioxide fixation rates at low light intensities. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I |
3. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
Statement I: | Green house crops such as tomatoes and bell pepper are allowed to grow in carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere. This leads to higher yields. |
Statement II: | C3 plants respond to higher carbon dioxide concentration by showing increased rates of photosynthesis, leading to higher productivity. |

I: | Water stress can cause the stomata to close, hence, reducing the carbon dioxide availability. |
II: | Water stress also makes leaves wilt, thus, reducing the surface area of the leaves and their metabolic activity as well. |

(a) | Splitting of the water molecule takes place on the inner side of the membrane. |
(b) | Protons accumulate within the lumen of the thylakoids. |
(c). | The primary acceptor of electrons transfers the electrons to an electron carrier. |
(d) | NADP reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane. |
(e) | Protons increase in number in stroma. |

I: | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove. |
II: | Sunlight is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies the air fouled by burning candles or breathing animals. |

I: | The whole scheme of transfer of electrons, starting from the PS II, uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, excitation of electrons, transfer to another acceptor, and finally down-hill to NADP+ reducing it to NADPH + H+ is called the Z scheme. |
II: | The electrons that are moved from photosystem II get replaced by electrons available due to splitting of water. |

I: | A possible location where this could be happening is in the stroma lamellae. |
II: | While the membrane or lamellae of the grana have both PS I and PS II, the stroma lamellae membranes lack PS II as well as NADP reductase enzyme. |
