Photophosphorylation is the process in which

A. CO2 and O2 unite

B. Phosphoglyceric acid is produced

C. Aspartic acids is formed

D. Light energy is converted into chemical energy through production of ATP

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Photophosphorylation is the process in which CO2 and O2 unite.
Photophosphorylation is the conversion of ADP to ATP using the energy of sunlight by activation of PSII. This involves the splitting of the water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen protons (H+), a process known as photolysis.
The concentration of NADPH in the chloroplast may help regulate which pathway electrons take through the light reactions. When the chloroplast runs low on ATP for the Calvin cycle, NADPH will accumulate and the plant may shift from noncyclic to cyclic electron flow.
