KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 11. Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Which statement about photosynthesis is false?
- A The enzymes required for carbon fixation are located only in the grana of chloroplasts.
- B In green plants, both PS I and PS II are required for the formation of NADPH + \(H ^{+}\)
- C The electron carriers involved in photophosphorylation are located on the thylakoid membranes.
- D Photosynthesis is a redox process in which water is oxidised and carbon dioxide is reduced.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The enzymes required for carbon fixation are located only in the grana of chloroplasts.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) The enzymes required for carbon fixation are located only in the grana of chloroplasts.,
The enzymes required for carbon fixation (Calvin cycle), such as RuBisCO, are located in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The grana are primarily involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
