Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Photophosphorylation is important for energy production and storage Reason: When the two photosystems work in a series, first PS I and then the PS II, a process called non-cyclic photo-phosphorylation occurs

Options

  1. ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
  2. BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3. CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
  4. DBoth Assertion and Reason are false

Correct answer

C. Assertion is true but the Reason is false

Step-by-step solution

ATP is synthesised by cells (in mitochondria and chloroplasts) is named phosphorylation. Photophosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in the presence of light.
