Q. Which one of the following concerns Photophosphorylation?
A) ADP + Inorganic $PO_{4} \rightarrow ATP$
B) AMP + Inorganic $PO_{4}\overset{Light\ energy}{\rightarrow}ATP$
C) ADP + AMP $\overset{Light\ energy}{\rightarrow}\ ATP$
D) ADP + Inorganic $PO_{4}\overset{Light\ energy}{\rightarrow}\ ATP$
Explanation
Phosphorylation refers to the process, in which ATP is made, when energy is used to bond another phosphate to ADP. In photosynthesis, they energy is supplied by light and the process is, therefore, called photophosphorylation.
