Which is false ?

A

Flow of electrons from water to `NADP^(+)` is non-cyclic and
produces `ATP`

B

Light energy for photolysis of water comes from reaction centre
of PS II

C

Two photosystems are needed for reduction of `NADP^(+)`

D

`P_(680)` and `P_(700)` are reaction centres of PS I and PS II respectively

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false regarding photosynthesis, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement 1**: "Flow of electrons from water to NADP+ is non-cyclic and produces ATP." - This statement is true. The flow of electrons from water (H2O) to NADP+ occurs during non-cyclic photophosphorylation, which is part of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. This process does produce ATP. 2. **Statement 2**: "Light energy of photolysis of water comes from the reaction center of PSII." - This statement is also true. The photolysis of water, which produces oxygen, protons, and electrons, is driven by light energy absorbed by Photosystem II (PSII). The oxygen-evolving complex associated with PSII facilitates this process. 3. **Statement 3**: "Two photosystems are needed for the reduction of NADP+." - This statement is true as well. Both Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII) are involved in the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. The electrons from PSII are transferred to PSI, which ultimately leads to the reduction of NADP+. 4. **Statement 4**: "P680 and P700 are reaction centers of PS1 and PS2 respectively." - This statement is false. P700 is the reaction center of Photosystem I (PSI), while P680 is the reaction center of Photosystem II (PSII). Therefore, the correct association is that P680 corresponds to PSII and P700 corresponds to PSI. ### Conclusion: The false statement is: - **D**: "P680 and P700 are reaction centers of PS1 and PS2 respectively."
