Important Questions on Photosynthesis

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.


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.


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





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?



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:
