Van Niel, based on his studies of purple and green bacteria, demonstrated that photosynthesis is essentially a light-dependent reaction in which hydrogen from a suitable oxidisable compound reduces CO2 to carbohydrates. This can be expressed by:
Compare this with the correct equation for photosynthesis:
Based on the comparison, which of the following will be correct?
I: In green plants H2O is the hydrogen donor and is oxidised to O2.
II: Some organisms do not release O2 during photosynthesis.
III: O2 evolved by the green plant comes from H2O, not from carbon dioxide.

2. Only I and III
3. Only II and III
