suggest the type of photophosphorylation,during which oxygen in evolved.explain the process and draw it's diagrammatic representation
Answers
Photophosphorylation is basically a process in photosynthesis where adenosine di phosphate is converted into adenosine tri phosphate with the help of photon which are the energy source from the sunlight. This occurs in the chloroplasts of cells, specifically, in the thylakoid membranes of the choloroplast of the leaves. Here in this process light is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigment molecules.
During the process of photosynthesis, the phosphorylation of ADP to generate ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation.
Only two sources of energy are obtainable to living organisms: One is sunlight and the other is reduction-oxidation reactions.
All organisms produce ATP, which works as the universal energy currency of life.
In this process photolysis is used to generate an incessant mono-directional flow of electrons from water to photosystem II.
