The net reaction of all light-dependent reactions in oxygenic photosynthesis is:

1. 2H2O + 2NAD+ + 3ADP + 3Pi \(\rightarrow\) O+ 2NADH + 3ATP
2. 2H2O + 3NAD+ + 2ADP + 3Pi \(\rightarrow\) O+ 3NADH + 2ATP
3. 2H2O + 2NADP+ + 3ADP + 3Pi \(\rightarrow\) O+ 2NADH + 3ATP
4. 2H2O + 3NADP+ + 2ADP + 3Pi \(\rightarrow\) O+ 3NADH + 3ATP

The diagram shows the famous Engelmann experiment that helped us understand important aspects of the process of photosynthesis. What conclusion can be drawn by the pattern of accumulation of aerobic bacteria shown in the diagram?
 

1. Excess carbon dioxide is released by the alga in the area of accumulation.
2. Only red and violet lights are effective for photosynthesis.
3. In the areas of accumulation, most oxygen was liberated by the alga.
4. Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light.

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
