The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

In photosystem-I, the ejected electron is trapped by FRS (ferrodoxin reducing substance) which is an unknown oxidation - reduction system. The electron is now transferred to a non-heme iron protein called ferrodoxin (Fd) from which electron is transferred to NADP+ intermediate protein electron carrier ferrodoxin-NADP reductase. So that NADP+ is reduced to NADPH + H+.

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:

Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:

  • Light Reaction
  • Dark Reaction

Light Reaction:

  • This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
  • The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
  • The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.

Dark Reaction:

This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:

  1. Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
  2. C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
