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.

2. F1 is a transmembrane channel and F0 protrudes out towards stroma
3. F0 is a transmembrane channel and F1 protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid
4. F1 is a transmembrane channel and F0 protrudes out towards lumen of thylakoid

NCERT textbook mentions that “immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time and then stops”. Why does it stop after some time?
1. The respiration stops in the absence of light and hence synthesis of sugars stops
2. The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are directly dependent on light
3. The reactions of the biosynthetic phase are dependent on the products of light reaction
4. This is a mistake in NCERT as Dark Reactions will continue throughout night
