Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the synthesis of ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate in the presence of light. This process is crucial in photosynthesis. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The synthesis of ATP and ADP along with inorganic phosphate in the presence of light refers to a specific biochemical process. 3. **Defining the Key Terms**: - **ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)**: The energy currency of the cell. - **ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)**: The product formed when ATP loses one phosphate group. - **Inorganic Phosphate (Pi)**: A phosphate group that can combine with ADP to form ATP. 4. **Linking to Photosynthesis**: In photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy. This process involves the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. 5. **Naming the Process**: The specific process that synthesizes ATP and ADP in the presence of light is known as **endergonic chemiosmosis**. 6. **Understanding Endergonic Reactions**: Endergonic reactions are those that require energy input. In this case, the energy comes from light, which is absorbed during photosynthesis. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the synthesis of ATP and ADP along with inorganic phosphate in the presence of light is called **endergonic chemiosmosis**. ---
