Explain the photolysis of water during photophosphorylation.

Important Questions on Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.

MEDIUM

Assertion (A): In PS I, the reaction centre, chlorophyll 'a' has an absorption peak at 700 nm, hence is called P700, while in PS II, it has absorption maxima at 680 nm and is called P680.

Reason (R): Calvin pathways occur in all photosynthetic plants, it does not matter where they have C3 or C4 pathways and the Calvin cycle described in three stages: Carboxylation, reduction and regeneration.

The correct answer is:

In a photoelectric effect experiment, a point source of light of power 3.2 mW emits photons each of which has 5 eV energy. The source is located at a distance of 0.8 m from the centre of a stationary metal disk having a work function of 3 eV. The metal disk has a radius of 8×10-3 m. Assuming that one photoelectron is emitted for every 106 photons striking the surface of the disk, how many photoelectrons are emitted every second?
