Q. No.Identify the incorrect statement regarding the light independent reactions in photosynthesis:
1. These reactions occur in the stroma.
2. They use the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions.
3. They occur in the absence of light and hence are called the dark reactions.
4. The three phases are carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.

The antenna pigment molecules:
| 1. | are responsible for photolysis of water to release oxygen |
| 2. | harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll |
| 3. | transfer electrons to chlorophyll a |
| 4. | transfer electrons to ferredoxin and then NADPH |

In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis:
1. NADPH is reduced to by the enzyme NADP reductase.
2. initial carbon fixation takes place forming a 3 carbon compound.
3. ATP is not produced.
4. light is absorbed and energy is transported to reaction-center chlorophyll a
