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

In cyclic electron flow:
1. the electron begins in a pigment complex called photosystem I, passes from the primary acceptor to ferredoxin and then to plastoquinone, then to cytochrome b6f, and then to plastocyanin before returning to chlorophyll.
2. the electron begins in a pigment complex called photosystem II, passes from the primary acceptor to ferredoxin and then to plastoquinone, then to cytochrome b6f, and then to plastocyanin before returning to chlorophyll.
3. the electron begins in a pigment complex called photosystem I, passes from the primary acceptor to ferredoxin and then to plastocyanin, then to cytochrome b6f, and then to plastoquinone before returning to chlorophyll.

Study the given diagram where ‘X’ represents the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a and ‘Y’ represents the action spectrum of photosynthesis. The conclusions that can be drawn include:
  

I: Chlorophyll a is the main pigment in photosynthesis.
II: Violet-Blue and Red wavelengths are very effective for photosynthesis.
III: Chlorophyll a is the only pigment capable of absorbing light.

Identify the correct relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration:

1. while only autotrophs photosynthesize, only heterotrophs respire
2. while photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert inorganics to energy-rich organics, respiration breaks down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATP
3. photosynthesis occurs in day time and respiration at night
4. ATP cannot be formed during photosynthesis, it can only be formed in cellular respiration.
