Though chlorophyll a is the major pigment responsible for trapping light, other thylakoid pigments called accessory pigments are also involved. The accessory pigments:
| I: | Include xanthophylls and carotenoids but not chlorophyll b |
| II: | Absorb light and transfer electrons to chlorophyll a |
| III: | Enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be reflected by green leaves |
| IV: | Make Chlorophyll a more prone to photo-oxidation |
The incorrect statements include:
| 1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only III and IV |
| 3. | Only I, III and IV | 4. | I, II, III and IV |

‘The effect of water as a factor affecting photosynthesis is more through its effect on the plant, rather than directly on photosynthesis’. Which of the following support this statement?
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II
| I: | Water stress causes the stomata to close, hence reducing the CO2 availability. |
| II: | Water stress also makes leaves wilt, thus, increasing the surface area of the leaves and their metabolic activity as well. |
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
