Important Questions on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

EASY
The deficiency of which of these elements interrupts photolysis of water during photosynthesis?
EASY
In light reaction, plastoquinone facilitates the transfer of electrons from
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.

EASY
Which of the following is not a product of a light reaction of photosynthesis?
EASY

Which of the following are required for chemiosmosis?

I. A membrane

I. A neutron pump

II. An electron gradient

IV. ATPase

The correct answer is:

EASY
During non-cyclic photophosphorylation, when electrons are lost from the reaction centre at PSII, what is the source which replaces these electrons?
MEDIUM
Emerson's enhancement effect and red drop have been instrumental in the discovery of:
EASY
No. of ATP, O2 molecules and NADPH released in photophosphorylation when 12H2O molecules undergo photolysis
EASY
Which of the following is/are the product(s) of cyclic photophosphorylation?
HARD

i) Plastoquinone

ii) Excited P680*

iii) Cyt f

iv) Fe-S

v) Pheophytin

vi) Quinone

The correct sequence is

HARD
Which one of the following is not true regarding the release of energy during ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis? It involves:
EASY
The oxygen evolved during photosynthesis comes from water molecules. Which one of the following pairs of elements is involved in this reaction?
MEDIUM
How many molecules of ATP are required for the synthesis of 5 molecules of glucose during the Calvin cycle?
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:
