NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: As electrons move through the photosystems, protons are transported across the membrane Reason: ATP synthesis is linked to development of a neutron gradient across a membrane
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
C. Assertion is true but the Reason is false
Step-by-step solution
As electrons move through the photosystems, protons are transported across the membrane. This happens because the primary accepter ofelectron which is located towards the outer side of the membrane transfers its electron not to an electron carrier but to an H carrier.
