Assertion(A): | As a plant photosynthesises, many factors will simultaneously affect its rate. |

4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | Splitting of water molecules takes place on the outer side of the inner chloroplast membrane. |
Reason(R): | Splitting of water accumulates the protons within the lumen of the thylakoids. |
