What would be true for cyclic photophosphorylation in photosynthetic plants?
1. | It utilizes excess ATP. |
2. | It reduces NADP+ to NADPH. |
3. | It occurs in the cytochrome of the complex and utilizes electrons from photosystem I. |
4. | It utilizes electrons from photosystem II. |
Assertion (A): | Cyclic photophosphorylation results in the synthesis of ATP but not of NADPH + H+. |
Reason (R): | The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
