| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |

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 |

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. |

The correct and complete equation for the process of photosynthesis in higher plants will be:
| 1. | 6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O |
| 2. | 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| 3. | CO2 + H2O + light energy → [CH2O] + O2 |
| 4. | C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O |
