C 4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is FALSE?
A
Thylakoid membranes contain the photosynthetic pigments.
B
The oxygen released during photosynthesis comes from water.
C
RuBP is produced during cyclic photophosphorylation in the light dependent reactions.
D
The light dependent reactions provide the energy for the Calvin cycle.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Light reaction in plants is the synthesis of chemical energy such as ATP and NADPH from the light energy of sunlight. It is a photochemical reaction and takes place in the thylakoid. It also involves the splitting of water to form H+, O2 gas and electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ATP and NADPH2.

Detailed explanation-3: -C) RuBP is produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: ATP and NADPH are produced during the light dependent reaction, and are reactants necessary for the light independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) to occur.
