Assertion(A): | In C4 plants, photorespiration does not occur. |
Reason(R): | They have a mechanism that increases the concentration of CO2 at the enzyme site. |

3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | As a plant photosynthesises, many factors will simultaneously affect its rate. |
Reason(R): | Usually one factor is the major cause or is the one that limits the rate. |

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): | When several factors affect any [bio] chemical process, Blackman’s (1905) Law of Limiting Factors comes into effect. |
Reason(R): | At any point of photosynthesis, the rate will be determined by the factor available at sub-optimal levels. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | The effect of water as a factor is more through its effect on the plant, rather than directly on photosynthesis. |
Reason(R): | Water stress also makes leaves wilt and increases metabolic activity as well. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | Green plants are called autotrophs. |
Reason(R): | The green plants synthesise the food they need through 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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion(A): | Oxygen evolved from green plants actually comes from the water molecule. |
Reason(R): | This was proved using radioisotope techniques. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion (A): | Photorespiration decreases the rate of photosynthesis. |
Reason (R): | RUBISCO can also behave as an oxygenase |

3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | Chief photosynthetic pigment is chlorophyll a but plants evolved some other pigments also. |
Reason (R): | Photosynthetic efficiency is increased due to absorptions of variety of wavelengths. |
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). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is Correct. |
