Important Questions on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

MEDIUM

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.

HARD

EASY
Which of the following is/are the product(s) of cyclic photophosphorylation?
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:

EASY
Which of the following combinations is required for chemiosmosis?
