The correct statements about photosynthesis include:

I: the light-dependent reactions can occur only in the light, the light-independent reactions only in the dark
II: photorespiration is more efficient at producing glucose than is photosynthesis
III: the light-dependent reactions produce the energy-rich compounds that are used to run the light-independent reactions
 
1. I only 2. III only
3. I and III only 4. II and III only
