- 1.
What is not found in a photosystem?
- A.
Chlorophyll a molecules
- B.
Accessory pigments
- C.
Antenna complex
- D.
Cytochrome complex
Correct Answer
D. Cytochrome complexExplanation
A photosystem is a complex of pigments and proteins found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. It is responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a molecules, accessory pigments, and antenna complexes are all components of a photosystem and play a crucial role in light absorption and energy transfer. However, a cytochrome complex is not found in a photosystem. Cytochromes are proteins involved in electron transport chains, which are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, not in the chloroplasts where photosystems are found.Rate this question:

After the excited electrons are captured by the primary electron acceptor, water is split in a process known as what?
- A.
Photolysis
- B.
Photosynthesis
- C.
Photophosphorylation
- D.
Chemiosmosis
Correct Answer
A. pHotolysisExplanation
After the excited electrons are captured by the primary electron acceptor, water is split in a process known as photolysis. This is the process where water molecules are broken down into oxygen, protons (H+), and electrons. Photolysis occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, specifically in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. It is an essential step in the production of oxygen and the generation of energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADPH.Rate this question:

As the excited electrons lose energy along the electron transport chain, they fuel the process of:
- A.
Light absorption
- B.
Chemiosmosis
- C.
Photolysis
- D.
Photosynthesis
Correct Answer
B. ChemiosmosisExplanation
As the excited electrons lose energy along the electron transport chain, they fuel the process of chemiosmosis. Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, which generates ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of cells. In this process, the energy released by the flow of electrons is used to pump protons across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient. This gradient is then used by ATP synthase to produce ATP. Therefore, chemiosmosis is the correct answer as it accurately describes the process by which the excited electrons contribute to the production of ATP.Rate this question:

In which state of photosynthesis is light energy is converted into chemical energy?
- A.
First stage
- B.
Second stage
- C.
Third stage
- D.
Fourth stage
Correct Answer
A. First stageExplanation
In the first stage of photosynthesis, known as the light-dependent reactions, light energy is converted into chemical energy. This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, where pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light and use it to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which are energy-rich molecules. These molecules are then used in the second stage, the light-independent reactions, to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a process called the Calvin cycle. Therefore, the correct answer is the first stage.Rate this question:
