Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. This is because:

1. Dark reactions do not depend on light
2. The rate of photosynthesis can be increased by higher carbon dioxide and lower temperatures even in low light conditions
3. Light saturation occurs at 10 % of full sunlight
4. Carbon fixation is independent of enzymes

Robin Hill discovered that the isolated chloroplasts from plants can release oxygen when they are illuminated by sunlight in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor. This showed:
I. oxygen (O2) is produced by a reaction that is separate from carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation.
II. the reaction in which oxygen is released requires light.
III. the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is a result of a series of redox reactions.
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
