Chloroplast movement is widespread among algae, mosses, and leaves of higher plants, what will be the orientation of chloroplast in dark as well as in light?
a.) In dark, chloroplasts gather at the cell surfaces parallel to the plane of the leaf so that they are aligned perpendicularly to the incident light
b.) Under high light, , the chloroplasts move to the cell surfaces that are parallel to the incident light, thus avoiding excess absorption of light
c.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the dark is such that maximizes absorption of light
d.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the high light is such that maximizes absorption of light

Some xanthophylls also participate in energy dissipation such as in light conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin with antheraxanthin as the intermediate and vice-versa, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a.) The conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of co-factor Ascorbate and violaxanthin de-epoxidase under high PPFD
b.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin with the help of NADPH and oxygen under low PPFD
c.) Conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of NADPH and water under low PPFD
d.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin in presence of enzyme known as violaxanthin de-epoxidase and co-factor Ascorbate under high PPFD

Protection against photodamage is a multilevel process, excited state of chlorophyll is not rapidly quenched by photochemistry it can react with molecular oxygen to form toxic photoproducts such as as singlet oxygen (1 O2*) what can damage if this second line of defense also fails to eliminate the reactive photoproducts?

b.) In Calvin-Benson cycle action of Transketolase produces erythrose 4-phosphate and xylulose 5-phosphate during regeneration step
c.) In C4 cycle phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase), catalyzes the initial carboxylation in mesophyll cells close to the external atmosphere
d.) The stomata of CAM plants open at night
