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. 
 
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.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion(A): The enzyme that catalyses carboxylation of RuBP in Calvin cycle would be more correctly called RuBisCO rather than RuBP carboxylase.
Reason(R): This enzyme also has an oxygenation activity apart from a carboxylase activity.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).

Regarding chemiosmotic ATP synthesis in the chloroplast:
I: There is a large number of hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space compared to the number in the stroma.
II: Hydrogen ions diffuse through special channels called ATP synthase complex.
III: ATP synthase complex splits ATP into ADP plus phosphate.
IV: Hydrogen ions flow down their electrochemical gradient through the ATP synthase complex.
