The correct answer is

Which of the following are required for chemiosmosis?
I. A membrane
I. A neutron pump
II. An electron gradient
IV.
The correct answer is:

Assertion In , the reaction centre, chlorophyll 'a' has an absorption peak at , hence is called , while in , it has absorption maxima at and is called .
Reason Calvin pathways occur in all photosynthetic plants, it does not matter where they have or pathways and the Calvin cycle described in three stages: Carboxylation, reduction and regeneration.
The correct answer is:
