photodiode: photovoltaic vs photoconductive

Three questions:
1) On a photodiode data ***, you see the spectral response (i.e.
responsitivity in A/W vs the wavelength), however it never clarifies
if this is for photovoltaic (no bias applied) or photoconductive (with
a bias) mode. Which mode is this for?
2) For a photodiode, would its responsitivity (or Quantum Efficiency)
be different between photovoltaic or photoconductive mode.
3) Can you have a quantum efficiency more than 100% (e.g. from what I
understand, not for silicon photodiodes, but potentially for other
materials)?
Thank you.
