Which one of the following concerns photophosphorylation?

  1. ADP + AMP Light energy ATP
  2. ADP + Inorganic PO4 Light energy ATP
  3. ADP + Inorganic PO4 ATP
  4. AMP + Inorganic PO4 Light energy ATP

Answer

(2) ADP + Inorganic PO4 Light energy ATP

Solution

Phosphorylation = addition of an inorganic phosphate to ADP to form ATP.

As per NCERT, the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate in the presence of light is called photophosphorylation.

⇒ Option (1) uses AMP in place of phosphate, option (3) has no light energy and option (4) starts from AMP.

∴ ADP + Inorganic PO4 Light energy ATP is photophosphorylation.

Answer: (2)
