The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding photosynthesis are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: In C3 plants, the primary CO2 acceptor is RuBP.** - In C3 plants, during the Calvin cycle, the primary CO2 acceptor is indeed Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). When CO2 is fixed, it combines with RuBP to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement II: In the photosynthetic process, PS-II absorbs energy at or just below 680 nm.** - Photosystem II (PS-II) is known to absorb light most efficiently at a wavelength of around 680 nm. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Statement III: The chlorophyll-a that is present in photosystem-I has absorption maxima at 680 nm.** - Photosystem I (PS-I) actually has its absorption maximum at around 700 nm, not 680 nm. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements are I and II. Thus, the answer is that the correct options are **I and II only**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements with regard to photosynthesis are **I and II**. ---
