Assertion (A): | Plants that do not use PEP-carboxylase in primary carbon fixation are called C3 plants. |
Reason (R): | C3 plants are so called because, the primary carboxylation reaction, catalyzed by RuBisCO, produces the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids directly in the Calvin-Benson cycle. |

3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A) |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | Water molecules appear on both sides of the equation of photosynthesis. |
Reason (R): | The molecules that enter the reaction are not the same molecules that emerge from the reaction. |
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). |

1. | Chlorophyll a | 2. | Chlorophyll b |
3. | Xanthophylls | 4. | Carotenoids |
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). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Statement I: | The electrons that are removed from photosystem II are replaced by electrons available due to splitting of water. |
Statement II: | The electrons needed to replace those removed from photosystem I are provided by photosystem II. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
1. | When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electrons. |
2. | A possible location of cyclic flow of electrons is in the stroma lamellae. |
3. | The stroma lamellae membranes have both PS II as well as NADP reductase enzyme. |
4. | When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electrons. |
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. |
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). |
