Match List I with List II: List I List II A. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation I. Consumes CO ₂ , ATP and NADPH B. Biosynthetic phase II. Produces only ATP C. Splitting of water III. Produces ATP and NADPH D. Cyclic photophosphorylation IV. Releases O ₂ and protons Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II and results in the synthesis of both ATP and NADPH. The biosynthetic phase (dark reaction) is the stage where CO ₂ is reduced to carbohydrates, consuming the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction. The splitting of water is associated with PS II and results in the release of O ₂ , protons ( H^+ ), and electrons. Cyclic photophosphorylation involves only PS I and results in the synthesis of ATP only, without the production of NADPH or release of O ₂
