In a photosystem:
1. | The reaction centre is where light is captured, while the antenna complex is where this light energy is transformed into chemical energy. |
2. | The antenna complex is where light is captured, while the reaction centre is where this light energy is transformed into chemical energy. |
3. | The antenna complex is where light energy is captured and transformed into chemical energy. |
4. | The reaction centre is where light energy is captured and transformed into chemical energy. |
Assertion (A): | The reaction centres in both photosystems in plants is the same. |
Reason (R): | The reaction centres of both photosystems are formed by chlorophyll b molecules. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
I: | The water-splitting complex is located on the inner side of the thylakoid membrane |

1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
I: | Calvin cycle takes place in Bundle sheath cells |
II: | Number of carbon atoms in the primary carbon dioxide acceptor is 5 |
III: | Initial carboxylation reaction occurs in mesophyll cells |
IV: | Primary carbon dioxide fixation product is oxaloacetic acid |

1. | Cornelius van Neil | Oxygen evolved comes from water |
2. | T W Engelmann | First absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a |
3. | Joseph Priestley | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals remove |
4. | Jan Ingenhousz | Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis |
1. | There is a linear relationship between incident light and carbon dioxide fixation rates at low light intensities. |
2. | Current availability of carbon dioxide levels is limiting to the C4 plants. |
3. | C4 plants respond to higher temperatures and show higher rates of photosynthesis |
4. | Water stress causes the stomata to close, hence reducing the availability of carbon dioxide |
I: | It is the primary source of all food on earth. |
II: | It is responsible for the release of oxygen into the atmosphere by green plants. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
