Study the given diagram where ‘X’ represents the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and ‘Y’ represents the action spectrum of photosynthesis. The conclusions that can be drawn include:
  

I: Chlorophyll a is the main pigment in photosynthesis.
II: Violet-Blue and Red wavelengths are very effective for photosynthesis.
III: Chlorophyll a is the only pigment capable of absorbing light.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the light independent reactions in photosynthesis:
1. These reactions occur in the stroma.
2. They use the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions.
3. They occur in the absence of light and hence are called the dark reactions.
4. The three phases are carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.
