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 |
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. |
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. |
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+. |
3. | The shape of chlorophyll molecule. |
4. | The pathway of carbon fixation. |
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. |
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. |
I: | Water splitting complex is associated with PSII in photosynthetic plants. |
II: | Chlorophyll a reaction center in PSII is called as P680 |
