Important Questions on Photosynthesis

Which of the following are required for chemiosmosis?
I. A membrane
I. A neutron pump
II. An electron gradient
IV.
The correct answer is:

Assertion A: During photophosphorylation protons are transported across the membrane and accumulated inside the lumen.
Reason R: To develop proton gradient, pheophytin transfers electrons to hydrogen carriers instead of electron carrier.



The graph below represents the absorption spectrum of a major pigment contributing to photosynthesis.
Which one of the following best represents the photosynthetic efficiency of the pigment?

Arrange the given reactions occur in electron transport in correct sequence.
Oxygen Removes from ETS Receives electrons form .
Ubiquinone Oxidized from ubiquinol Receives reduced equivalents from .
Cyt C oxidase Reduced by cytochrome Electron donor for to release .
Cytochrome Mobile carrier Transfer from cyt to cyt oxidase.



Arrange the path of electrons from water to the phycocyanin in the light reaction.
i) Plastoquinone
ii) Excited
iii) Cyt
iv)
v) Pheophytin
vi) Quinone
The correct sequence is




Assertion In , the reaction centre, chlorophyll 'a' has an absorption peak at , hence is called , while in , it has absorption maxima at and is called .
Reason Calvin pathways occur in all photosynthetic plants, it does not matter where they have or pathways and the Calvin cycle described in three stages: Carboxylation, reduction and regeneration.
The correct answer is:
