A part of a leaf is enclosed in a test tube containing some KOH soaked cotton, while the other half is exposed to air. The setup is then placed in light for some time. Later, the exposed part of the leaf tested positive for starch, while the portion that was in the tube, tested negative. This showed that:
I: CO2 was required for photosynthesis
II: Light is not essential for carbon fixation in photosynthesis.
  
1.  Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion: The alignment of the chloroplasts along the walls of the mesophyll cells vary depending on the amount of incident light.
Reason: The alignment of the chloroplasts along the walls of the mesophyll cells is such that they get the optimum quantity of the incident light. 
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast where:
I:     the membrane system is responsible for trapping the light energy and for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH. 
II: in stroma, enzymatic reactions synthesise sugar, which in turn forms starch and synthesis of ATP but not NADPH takes place.

Identify the correct statements:
I: Photosystem I (PS I) functions before Photosystem II (PS II) during the light reaction. 
II: In PS I, the reaction centre chlorophyll a has an absorption peak at 680 nm, hence is called P680.
III: In PS II, the reaction centre chlorophyll a has absorption maxima at 700 nm, and is called P700.

Consider the two statements:
Assertion(A): Breakdown of proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane leads to the synthesis of ATP. 
Reason(R): The gradient is broken down due to the movement of protons across the membrane to the stroma through the transmembrane channel of the CF0 of the ATP synthase.
