Identify the correct statements regarding factors affecting photosynthesis:

I: At very high light intensities chlorophyll damage can occur due to photo-oxidation.
II: Affinity for carbon dioxide of the enzyme RuBisCO is reduced at higher temperatures.
III: The current availability of carbon dioxide may be a limiting factor for C3 plants.
IV: If leaf undergoes senescence, loss of chlorophyll occurs.

What conclusion can be drawn from the finding that while some bacteria have only photosystem I, cyanobacteria have both?
1. Photosystem II was lost in some species as it was selected against by the nature.
2. Photosystem I must be more ancestral.
3. Photosystem II may have evolved to be more photoprotective.
4. Cyclic photphosprolylation is more important than non cyclic photophosphorylation.
