Read the following four statements:
I. Both, photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation involve uphill transport of protons across the membrane.
II. In dicot stems, a new cambium originates from cells of pericycle at the time of secondary growth.
III. Stamens in flowers of Gloriosa and Petunia are polyandrous.
IV. Symbiotic nitrogen fixers occurs in free-living state also in soil. 

How many of the above statements are right 

  • Two

  • Three

  • Four

Two

Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and Cyanobacteria are found in association to plant. The most common symbiotic bacteria is Rhizobium.
