Important Questions on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
The following figure is the pathway of non-cyclic photophosphorylation. Find the correct options for all the given blanks indicated by A, B, C, and D.




How many of the given statements is/are correct for cyclic phosphorylation?
(I) Only PS I is functional.
(II) Occurs in stroma lamellae.
(III) Occurs when only light of wavelength less than 680 nm is available for excitation.
(IV) Synthesis of both ATP and NADPH occurs.
(V) Electrons are circulated within the photosystem.


Read the following statements and state them as true (T) and false (F).
A. A photosystem consists of a reaction center, LHC, and an electron acceptor.
B. The final acceptor of electrons during the non-cyclic flow of electrons is NADP.
C. During phosphorylation, the chloroplast stroma becomes more acidic than the interior of the thylakoid membrane.
D. The cytochrome system transports electrons and pumps H+ from stroma to thylakoid membrane.
