Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor for photosynthesis in nature.
Reason (R): Increase in incident light beyond a point causes the breakdown of chlorophyll and a decrease in photosynthesis.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A)
4. (A) is False but (R) is True

‘The effect of water as a factor affecting photosynthesis is more through its effect on the plant, rather than directly on photosynthesis’. Which of the following support this statement?
I: Water stress causes the stomata to close, hence reducing the CO2 availability.
II: Water stress also makes leaves wilt, thus, increasing the surface area of the leaves and their metabolic activity as well.
 
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Plants that do not use PEP-carboxylase in carbon fixation are called C3 plants.
Reason (R): The primary carboxylation reaction in C3 plants, catalyzed by RuBisCO, produces the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids directly in the Calvin-Benson cycle.
