Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 

Assertion (A):	Carbon fixation by RuBisCO can be enhanced by increasing the carbon dioxide level in the compartment containing RuBisCO.
Reason (R):	Carbon dioxide and oxygen compete at the active site of RuBisCO.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

1.	Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2.	Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3.	(A) is true but (R) is false.
4.	Both (A) and (R) are false.

Assertion: Photorespiration is considered as an evolutionary relic.
Reason: Unlike normal cellular respiration it uses ATP rather than generating it and unlike photosynthesis it produces no sugar.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

Assertion: The primary function of kranz anatomy is to provide a site in which ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ can be concentrated around RuBisCO, thereby avoiding photorespiration.
Reason: The mesophyll cells have a suberized cell wall and have a low conductance for ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: Cyclic electron flow is the only photosynthetic mode of generating ATP for bundle sheath cells.
Reason: Bundle sheath cells contain PS I but no PS II.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: CAM is an adaptation for increased efficiency in the use of water, and so is typically found in plants growing in arid conditions.
Reason: The most important benefit of CAM to the plant is the ability to leave most leaf stomata open during the day.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false

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.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: A reduction in photorespiration by genetic engineering or because of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (due to fossil fuel burning) may not benefit plants as has been proposed.
Reason: Photorespiration may be necessary for the assimilation of nitrate from soil.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: Plants photosynthesise during the day, whereas they respire at night.
Reason: Photosynthesis can occur in the presence of sunlight whereas respiration cannot.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.
