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

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

The space of thylakoid is separated from the stroma by a membrane. If the membrane capability to maintain an environment in the thylakoid space distinct from stroma is compromised, the process most directly affected would be:
1. the splitting of water
2. the absorption of photons by chlorophyll
3. the reduction of NADP+
4. the synthesis of ATP

Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts is possible because of:

1. establishment of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.
2. diffusion of electrons through the ATP synthase.
3. osmosis of water from thylakoid to stroma.
4. presence of large amount of oxygen in the stroma.
