NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: CF1 is embedded in the thylakoid membrane and forms a transmembrane channel Reason: Chemiosmosis requires only ATP synthase
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
D. Both Assertion and Reason are false
Step-by-step solution
CF1 and protrudes on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma. The break down of the gradient provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in the CF1 particle of the ATP synthase, which makes the enzyme synthesise several molecules of energypacked ATP.
