"Although Photosystem II is named 'II', it actually functions before Photosystem I in the linear electron flow pathway, making the numerical designation opposite to the functional sequence."

During the light reaction of photosynthesis, the photolysis of water results in:
1. Release of oxygen, generation of NADPH, and synthesis of glucose molecules
2. Release of carbon dioxide, generation of FADH2, and reduction of NADP+
3. Consumption of oxygen, generation of NADH, and synthesis of ATP molecules
4. Release of oxygen, generation of NADPH, and establishment of proton gradient

PS I is called P700 and PS II is called P680 because:
1. They represent the sequence of electron flow
2. They denote the wavelength of maximum absorption of their reaction-centre chlorophyll a
3. They indicate the number of chlorophyll molecules present
4. They correspond to their position on the thylakoid membrane

There is a clear division of labour within the chloroplast where:
A: The membrane system is the site for enzymatic reactions that synthesise sugar, which in turn forms starch.
B: Stroma is responsible for trapping the light energy and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.

1. Only A is correct
2. Only B is correct
3. Both A and B are correct
4. Both A and B are incorrect

Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): The protons and oxygen formed by the splitting of water during oxygenic photosynthesis is higher plants are released in the lumen of the thylakoid.
Reason (R): The water splitting complex is associated with the PS II, which itself is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid. 
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True, but (R) does not explain (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
4. (A) is False but (R) is True
