In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis:
1. NADPH is reduced to NADP+ by the enzyme NADP reductase.
2. initial carbon fixation takes place forming a 3 carbon compound.
3. ATP is not produced.
4. light is absorbed and energy is transported to reaction-center chlorophyll a

Photosystem I is directly associated with:
1. passing electrons to plastoquinone
2. receiving electrons from plastocyanin
3. P680 as the chlorophyll a reaction-center
4. removal of electrons and protons from water

Light dependent reactions are so called because they require light:

1. to provide electrons for the process
2. to split the water molecule
3. to impart energy to the electrons in the reaction center
4. to hydrolyse ATP molecules

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the enzyme PEP carboxylase:
1. PEP carboxylase has a lower Km for bicarbonate ions, hence, higher affinity — than RuBisCO.
2. O2 is a very poor substrate for this enzyme.
3. It plays an important role in C4 cycle but not in CAM plants.
4. PEP carboxylase is also significant in non-photosynthetic metabolic pathways.
