| 3. | Orange and yellow light | 4. | Blue and red light |
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
| 1. | Grana lamellae have both PS I and PS II. |
| 2. | Cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II. |
| 3. | Both ATP and NADPH + H+ are synthesized during non-cyclic photophosphorylation. |
| 4. | Stroma lamellae have PS I only and lack NADP reductase. |
Which statement is wrong for Krebs' cycle?
| 1. | There is one point in the cycle where FAD+ is reduced to FADH2 . |
| 2. | During conversion of succinyl CoA to succinic acid, a molecule of GTP is synthesized. |
| 3. | The cycle starts with condensation of acetyl group (acetyl CoA) with pyruvic acid to yield citric acid. |
| 4. | There are three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+. |
Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity during aerobic respiration requires:
| 1. | Calcium | 2. | Iron |
| 3. | Cobalt | 4. | Magnesium |
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
| 1. | ATP is synthesized through complex V. |
| 2. | Oxidation-reduction reactions produce a proton gradient in respiration. |
| 3. | During aerobic respiration, the role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage. |
| 4. | In ETC (Electron Transport Chain), one molecule of NADH+H+ gives rise to 2 ATP molecules, and one FADH2 gives rise to 3 ATP molecules. |

| 2. | Pollen grains of many species cause severe allergies |
| 3. | Stored pollen in liquid nitrogen can be used in crop breeding programs |
| 4. | Tapetum helps in the dehiscence of anther |
Which of the following statements is not correct?
| 1. | Insects that consume pollen or nectar without bringing about pollination are called pollen-nectar robbers. |
| 2. | Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are regulated by chemical compounds of pollen interacting with those of the pistil. |
| 3. | Some reptiles have also been reported as pollinators in some plant species. |
| 4. | Pollen grains of many species can germinate on the stigma of a flower, but only one pollen tube of the same species grows into the style. |
