Question

Splitting of water is associated with? A) photosystem i (b) lumen of thylakoid (c) both photosystem i and ii (d) inner surface of thylakoid membrane photosynthesis in higher plants

Answer 1

Answer: (b) lumen of thylakoid

Explanation:

• The splitting of water is the integral part of the photosynthesis process which involves production of products from reactants like carbon dioxide and water.

• The water splitting process or reaction occurs at the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane. The oxidation of water takes place in the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane. After oxidation water get split into hydrogen ion and oxygen molecule.

Answer 2

Splitting of water is associated with inner surface of thylakoid membrane photosynthesis in higher plants.  

Option (d)

Explanation:

• The splitting of water is the integral part of the photosynthesis. In this process the water breaks down and form hydrogen and oxygen. This is called photolysis of the water.
• Water splitting process is associated with the photosystem II which is present inside the inner surface of the thylakoid membrane. So the light reaction occurs in the 'thylakoid'.
