Statement I: | CO2 is initially incorporated into a four-carbon organic acid (either malate or aspartate) in the mesophyll cells. |
Statement II: | The chloroplasts of the bundle sheath cells convert this CO2 into carbohydrates by the conventional C3 pathway. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |

3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
4. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
Assertion (A): | Current availability of CO2 levels is limiting to the C3 plants. |
Reason (R): | Carbon dioxide is the major limiting factor for photosynthesis. |

Assertion (A): | Accessory photosynthetic pigments in higher plants enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilised for photosynthesis. |
Reason (R): | Accessory pigments protect chlorophyll a from photo-oxidation. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | Electron transport via cytochrome b6f is responsible for creating the proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP in chloroplasts. |
Reason (R): | Cytochrome b6f complex functions to mediate the transfer of electrons and of energy between Photosystem II and Photosystem I, while transferring protons from the chloroplast stroma across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | Immediately after light becomes unavailable, the biosynthetic process continues for some time, and then stops. |
Reason (R): | The biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis depends on the products of the light reaction. |
