Simple diode conducts only in forward bias. It does not conduct in reverse bias.
Zener diode conducts in forward bias. When reverse bias potential is increased, at a point zener breakdown occurs and then it behaves as a voltage regulator.
Solar cell current is composed of dark current and forward-bias current.
Resistance of LDR decreases with intensity of light.
