`NADPH_(2)` is generated in noncyclic photophosphorylation through

Options

A. photosystem-I
B. photosystem-II
C. anaerobic respiration
D. glycolysis

Answer

B

Explanation

NADPH is generated through photosystem-II in non-cyclic photophosphorylation (which involves both PS-I and II) protons released from photolysis and electrons emitted from `P_(700)` are ultimately passed on to `NADP^(+)` resulting in the formation of NADPH. In cyclic photophosphorylation (which involves only PS-I) electrons flow in a cyclic manner but there is not net formation of NADPH and `O_(2)`.
