According to the chemiosmotic hypothesis, there is a basic difference between respiration and photosynthesis. This is _____

1. In chloroplast, H+ accumulation takes place in the lumen of thylakoid but in mitochondria, this takes place in perimitochondrial space.
2. Accumulation of H+ in chloroplast takes place in matrix i.e., stroma and in mitochondria, this takes place in cristae.
3. In both the mitochondria and chloroplast the accumulation of H+ takes place in inter-membranous space but with a high rate in mitochondria
4. Both 1 and 3 are correct.

Cyclic photophosphorylation is different from non-cyclic photophosphorylation as the former

1. Is performed by a collaboration of both PS-II and PS-I

2. Does not require any external source of electrons

3. Is connected with photolysis of water

4. Is connected with ATP and NADPH production
