Consider the following statements.
I. The portion of the spectrum between 300-500 nm is also referred to as Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR).
II. Magnesium, calcium and chloride ions play prominent roles in the photolysis of water.
III. In cyclic photophosphorylation, oxygen is not released (as there is no photolysis of water) and NADPH is also not produced.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
I and II are false; but III is true
Option B (I and II are false; but III is true) is correct because PAR is between 400-700 nm, manganese and chloride ions are crucial for photolysis, and cyclic photophosphorylation does not produce NADPH or release oxygen.
