    Which one of the following is incorrect about the activities associated with PS-I and PS-II in non-cyclic photophospho-rylation?

    A) Water is oxidised in PS-II, but not in PS-I.

    B) Photons (light) are needed to activate both PS-I and PS-II.

    C) Photolysis of water, formation of ATP + NADPH+H occur.

    D) Production of NADPH + \[{{H}^{+}}\] is associated with PS-II, but not with PS-I.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Photosystem (PS)-I and II are two pigments system of light reaction. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is the light-requiring part of photosynthesis in higher plants, in which an electron donor is required, and oxygen is produced as a waste product. It consists of two photoreactions, resulting in the synthesis of ATP and \[NADP{{H}_{2}}.\] The hydrogen needed for the reduction of NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is made available from the breakdown of water.
