Identify the incorrect statement regarding non-cyclic photophosphorylation:
1. | Being a light reaction, non-cyclic photophosphorylation occurs in the thylakoid membrane. |
2. | The photosystem II complex replaces its lost electrons from an external source. |
3. | It generates both ATP and NADPH |
4. | When the chloroplast runs low on ATP for the Calvin cycle, the plant may shift from cyclic to non-cyclic electron flow. |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the light independent reactions in photosynthesis:
1. | These reactions occur in the stroma. |
2. | They use the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions. |
3. | They occur in the absence of light and hence are called the dark reactions. |
4. | The three phases are carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. |
The number of electrons that need to be transported during cyclic photophosphorylation in sulphur bacteria, to produce one molecule of ATP is:
1. one
2. two
3. three
4. four
The antenna pigment molecules:
1. | are responsible for photolysis of water to release oxygen |
2. | harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll |
3. | transfer electrons to chlorophyll a |
4. | transfer electrons to ferredoxin and then NADPH |
The number of turns of Calvin cycle required to produce one molecule of Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate is:
1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 3 | 4. | 6 |
The light independent reactions are seen in:
I. | C3 carbon fixation |
II. | C4 carbon fixation |
III. | Crassulacean acid metabolism |
1. I and II only | 2. I and III only |
3. II and III only | 4. I, II and III |
In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis:
1. | NADPH is reduced to NADP+ by the enzyme NADP reductase |
2. | initial carbon fixation takes place forming a 3 carbon compound. |
3. | ATP is not produced. |
4. | light is absorbed and energy is transported to reaction-center chlorophyll a |

3. | 12 and 18 | 4. | 18 and 12 |
Identify the correct statement regarding the functioning of photosystem II?
1. | The reaction center is P700. |
2. | It works after PS I in non cyclic photophosphorylation. |
3. | Water splits and carbon dioxide is released. |
4. | The electron vacancies in P680 are filled by electrons derived from water. |
Consider the following two statements regarding RuBisCO:
I: | When carbon dioxide is the substrate, the product of the carboxylase reaction is finally two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate. |
II: | When molecular oxygen is the substrate, the products of the oxygenase reaction are two molecules of phosphoglycolate. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
