The pH of the space of thylakoid of isolated chloroplast is decreased and then transferred in the dark to a pH-8 solution. The result would most likely be:
I. The isolated chloroplasts will make ATP.
II. The Calvin cycle will be activated.
III. Cyclic photophosphorylation will occur.
1. Only I
2. Only I and II
3. Only I and III
4. Only II and III

Robin Hill discovered that the isolated chloroplasts from plants can release oxygen when they are illuminated by sunlight in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor. This showed:
I. oxygen (O2) is produced by a reaction that is separate from carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation.
II. the reaction in which oxygen is released requires light.
III. the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is a result of a series of redox reactions.
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III

Assertion: When simultaneously exposed to light of both red and far red wavelengths, the rate of photosynthesis is far higher than the sum of the red light and far red light photosynthesis rates.
Reason: Two photosystems, processing different wavelengths, cooperate in photosynthesis.

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.

Assertion: The enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase[PGK] is present in all living organisms.
Reason: In the Calvin cycle, PGK catalyzes the phosphorylation of 3-PG, producing 1,3-BPG and ADP, as part of the reactions that regenerate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.
