C. B. van Niel proved that:

1. Plants produce glucose when they grow.
2. Blue and red light are effective for photosynthesis.
3. It is only the green parts of the plants that could release oxygen.
4. Hydrogen from a suitable oxidizable compound reduces carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.

It can be correctly said about the relation between the absorption spectra of various pigments and the action spectrum of photosynthesis that:

1. There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
2. There is a complete one to one overlap between the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll b and the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
3. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is wider than the action spectrum of photosynthesis.
4. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a is narrower than the action spectrum of photosynthesis.

The ATP synthase consists of two parts where:

1. F0 is a transmembrane channel and F1 protrudes out towards stroma
2. F1 is a transmembrane channel and F0 protrudes out towards stroma
3. F0 is a transmembrane channel and F1 protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid
4. F1 is a transmembrane channel and F0 protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid

Photorespiration is a wasteful process. Why is it so?

1. The number of ATP molecules produced in the pathway is very low.
2. The number of NADPH molecules produced in the pathway is very low.
3. The synthesis of sugars in the pathway requires a large input of ATP energy.
4. There is neither synthesis of sugars, nor of ATP in the pathway.
