Photophosphorylation is:
A
The phosphorylation of ADP to ATP using light energy of photosynthesis.
B
The reduction of NADP+ to NADPH using light energy of photosynthesis.
C
The phosphorylation of glucose to glusocse-6-phosphate during glycolysis.
D
The oxidation of water during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'photophosphorylation': It refers to the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP during photosynthesis.
Identify the key components involved in photophosphorylation: ADP, ATP, light energy, and the photosynthetic process.
Recognize that photophosphorylation occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
Differentiate between the processes mentioned: Photophosphorylation specifically involves the conversion of ADP to ATP using light energy, not the phosphorylation of glucose or the reduction of NADP+.
Conclude that the correct description of photophosphorylation is the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP using light energy of photosynthesis.
