I: | A possible location where this could be happening is in the stroma lamellae. |
II: | While the membrane or lamellae of the grana have both PS I and PS II, the stroma lamellae membranes lack PS II as well as NADP reductase enzyme. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
I: | The whole scheme of transfer of electrons, starting from the PS II, uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, excitation of electrons, transfer to another acceptor, and finally down-hill to NADP+ reducing it to NADPH + H+ is called the Z scheme. |
II: | The electrons that are moved from photosystem II get replaced by electrons available due to splitting of water. |
1. Only I | 2. Only II |
3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
I: | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove. |
II: | Sunlight is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies the air fouled by burning candles or breathing animals. |
1. Only I | 2. Only II |
3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
Assertion(A): | Immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time, and then stops. |
Reason(R): | It is misnomer to call a biosynthetic phase a dark reaction. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

Assertion(A): | Melvin Calvin contributed to working out the complete biosynthetic pathway of photosynthesis. |
Reason(R): | He used radioactive 14C in bacterial photosynthesis. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | (A) is false but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | RuBisCO has affinity for both the gases: CO2 and O2. |
Reason(R): | RuBisCO is the most abundant enzyme in the biosphere. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
