Light dependent reactions are so called because they require light:

1. to provide electrons for the process
2. to split the water molecule
3. to impart energy to the electrons in the reaction center
4. to hydrolyse ATP molecules

What is the key difference between the reaction center chlorophyll molecule and other pigment molecules in a photosystem?
1. Reaction center chlorophyll molecules are less abundant than other pigments.
2. Only reaction center chlorophyll molecules can transfer the excited electron to an electron acceptor.
3. Other pigment molecules do not participate in the light reactions of photosynthesis.
4. Reaction center chlorophyll molecules are located in the stroma, while other pigments are in the thylakoid membrane.

What happens to the electrons of PS II in the electron transport chain during the light reaction of photosynthesis?
 
1. They are stored in pigments of photosystem II.
2. They are used up during the process.
3. They pass through the electron transport chain and are transferred to pigments of photosystem I.
4. They combine directly with NADP+ to form NADPH.

What is the Z scheme in the context of photosynthesis?
1. The process of ATP formation.
2. The movement of electrons downhill in redox potential scale from PS II to PS I and then to NADP+.

Why is the shape of the electron transport process termed the Z scheme?
 
1. Because of the zig-zag shape of the pathway.
2. Due to the characteristic shape of the energy levels when all carriers are placed in sequence on a redox potential scale.
3. Because it represents the structure of chlorophyll.
4. Due to the shape of the ATP synthase enzyme.
