NEETBiologyPhotosynthesis in Higher PlantsMCQ+4 / −1
The first step for initiation of photosynthesis will be
- Aphotolysis of water
- Bexcitement of chlorophyll molecules due to absorption of ligtht
- CATP formation
- Dglucose formation
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
The process of photosynthesis involves two
steps–
(i) Light dependent phase or photochemical
reaction.
(ii) Light independent these or dark reaction.
Light reaction occurs in grana fraction of chloroplast
and in this reaction are included those activities,
which are dependent on light.
The grana of chloroplasts contains many collaborating
molecules of pigment. A quantum of light is absorbed
by a single antenna chlorophyll, then it migrates from
one molecule to the other till it reaches the reaction center. This quantum of light is used for generating
ATP and NADPH, which is later consumed in dark
reactions produce sugars by fixing CO2
molecules.
