Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Cyclic photophosphorylation results only in the synthesis of ATP, but not of NADPH + H+.
Reason (R): Cyclic photophosphorylation occurs only when light of wavelengths beyond 680 nm are available for excitation.

Consider the two statements:
Assertion(A): The protons or hydrogen ions that are produced by the splitting of water accumulate within the lumen of the thylakoids.
Reason(R): The primary accepter of electrons, which is located towards the outer side of the membrane, transfers its electron not to an electron carrier but to an H carrier.

The ATP synthase enzyme consists of two parts where:
I: CF0 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane and forms a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane.
II: CF1 protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma.
