By studying purple sulphur bacteria and green sulphur bacteria, who was the first scientist to demonstrate, in 1931, that photosynthesis is a light-dependent redox reaction in which hydrogen from an oxidizable compound reduces carbon dioxide to cellular materials?

Assertion (A): | C4 plants are more suited to hot climates than C3 plants. |
Reason(R): | They do not close their stomata in hot, dry weather. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | The Calvin cycle actually occurs only in the dark or during night time. |
Reason (R): | The Calvin cycle is also called as ‘Dark’ reactions. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
I: | The component CF0 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane. |
II: | The component CF1 protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma. |
Assertion (A): | The cyclic flow hence, results only in the synthesis of ATP, but not of NADPH + H+. |
Reason (R): | The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A) |
Statement I: | The primary CO2 acceptor in C4 plants is oxaloacetate and is found in the mesophyll cells |
Statement II: | Mesophyll cells in C4 plants carry out Calvin cycle. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
4. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
