Which one of the following statements about the events of non-cyclic photophosphorylation is correct.

Options

A. Photolysis of water takes place
B. Oxygen is released
C. Only one photosystem participates
D. ATP and NADPH are produced

Answer

C

Explanation

In non -cyclic phosphorylation , electrons derived from the photolysis of water are raised to higher energy levles in PS-I , PS-II and pass along an electron transport chain of carrier molecule of NADP reduce . This enzyme transfers electrons to `NADPH^(+)` to make NADPH, which provides reducing power for light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Both PS-I and PS-II participates.
