| I: | C3 plants use the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide directly into a three-carbon compound, 3-phosphoglycerate. |
| II: | C4 plants conduct their light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle in the same cell type. |
| III: | Photosystem I primarily functions to generate ATP, while Photosystem II primarily functions to generate NADPH. |
| IV: | C4 plants separate carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle into two different types of cells to reduce photorespiration. |
| V: | Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and involve the absorption of light to produce ATP and NADPH. |
| VI: | In C3 plants, photorespiration is promoted by high concentrations of oxygen, especially under high light intensity and temperature conditions. |

How does PEPcase differ from RuBisCO in function?
| 1. | PEPcase is more efficient at carbon fixation at low CO₂ concentrations than RuBisCO. |
| 2. | PEPcase fixes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, unlike RuBisCO. |
| 3. | PEPcase catalyzes the dark reactions, while RuBisCO catalyzes the light reactions. |
| 4. | RuBisCO requires a higher pH to function optimally compared to PEPcase. |

What is the difference between action spectrum and absorption spectrum in photosynthesis?
| 1. | The action spectrum shows wavelengths used for oxygen evolution, while the absorption spectrum shows wavelengths that chlorophyll absorbs. |
| 2. | The action spectrum measures the rate of photosynthesis at different wavelengths, while the absorption spectrum measures the rate of respiration. |
| 3. | Both spectrums measure the same wavelengths of light used in photosynthesis. |
| 4. | The absorption spectrum indicates the overall health of the plant, whereas the action spectrum does not. |
