Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Electron transport via cytochrome b6f is responsible for creating the proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP in chloroplasts.
Reason (R): Cytochrome b6f complex functions to mediate the transfer of electrons and of energy between Photosystem II and Photosystem I, while transferring protons from the chloroplast stroma across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Match the following scientists with their contributions to the study of photosynthesis:
Column A                 Column B
1. Priestley A. Proposed that water is split in the process of photosynthesis.
2. Engelmann B. Demonstrated that oxygen is produced from plants exposed to light.
3. Van Niel C. Used a prism to show that different wavelengths of light affect oxygen production differently.
4. Ingenhousz D. Discovered that plants release oxygen.
Options:
1. 1-D, 2-B, 3-C, 4-A

Water affects the process of photosynthesis in higher plants because:
I: Water stress can cause the stomata to close, hence, reducing the carbon dioxide availability.
II: Water stress also makes leaves wilt, thus, reducing the surface area of the leaves and their metabolic activity as well.
 
1. Only I 2. Only II
3. Both I and II 4. Neither I nor II
