Q. Photophosphorylation is the

A) Formation of ADP in the presence of light
B) Formation of ATP in the presence of chemicals
C) Formation of ATP in the presence of light
D) Formation of ATP in the presence of reducing agents
Explanation

Photophosphorylation is the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in the presence of light. When the two phosphates work in a series. (first PS-II and then PS-I) then non-cyclic photophosphorylation occurs. The two photosystems are connected through an electron transport chain. Both ATP and NADPH are synthesised by this kind of electron flow
