Q934
Which one is photophosphorylation?
A.
ADP + AMP ATP
B.
ADP + Inorganic phosphate ATP
AnswerC.
ADP + Inorganic PO4 ⟶ ATP
D.
AMP + Inorganic PO4 ⟶ ATP
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
ADP + Inorganic phosphate ATP is photophosphorylation.In photophosphorylation, light energy is used to pump protons across a biological membrane, mediated by the flow of electrons through an electron transport chain. This stores energy in a proton gradient.
As the protons flow back through an enzyme called ATP synthase, ATP is generated from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
