Consider the following two statements regarding RuBisCO:
I: | When carbon dioxide is the substrate, the product of the carboxylase reaction is finally two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate. |
II: | When molecular oxygen is the substrate, the products of the oxygenase reaction are two molecules of phosphoglycolate. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |

Photosystem I is directly associated with:
1. passing electrons to plastoquinone
2. receiving electrons from plastocyanin
3. P680 as the chlorophyll a reaction-center
4. removal of electrons and protons from water
Identify the correct statements regarding RuBisCO:
I: | It catalyzes the carboxylation of \(CO_2\) to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. |
II: | It initiates photorespiration when the \(CO_2/O_2\) ratio is low. |
III: | It catalyzes the reduction of two molecules of PGAL to form glucose. |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |

In the given simplified diagram of the Calvin Cycle,
ATP is utilized at points:
1. A and B only
2. A and C only
3. B and C only
4. A, B and C
Light dependent reactions are so called because they require light:
1. | to provide electrons for the process |
2. | to split the water molecule |
3. | to impart energy to the electrons in the reaction center |
4. | to hydrolyse ATP molecules |
