The diagram shows the famous Engelmann experiment that helped us understand important aspects of the process of photosynthesis. What conclusion can be drawn by the pattern of accumulation of aerobic bacteria shown in the diagram?
| 1. | Excess carbon dioxide is released by the alga in the area of accumulation. |
| 2. | Only red and violet lights are effective for photosynthesis. |
| 3. | In the areas of accumulation, most oxygen was liberated by the alga. |
| 4. | Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light. |

A chromatographic separation of the leaf pigments shows that the colour that we see in leaves is not due to a single pigment but due to four pigments. The colours, bright or blue green, in the chromatogram are associated with:
| 1. | Chlorophyll a | 2. | Chlorophyll b |
| 3. | Xanthophylls | 4. | Carotenoids |

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. |

Consider the two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Higher rate of photosynthesis is seen when plants are provided with blue and red regions of wavelengths of visible light. |
| Reason (R): | There is maximum absorption by chlorophyll a in the blue and the red regions of the visible light. |
| 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. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
