Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following statements is not true about the noncyclic electron pathway?

• A. Absorbs photons into photosystem-I
• B. Absorbs photons into photosystem-II
• C. Produces NADPH
• D. Produces carbohydrates through carbon dioxide fixation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Produces carbohydrates through carbon dioxide fixation

Calvin cycle produces carbohydrates through carbon-di-oxide fixation. The photosystems 1 and 2 are involved in the production of ATP by electron transport and carry out the primary photochemistry of photosynthesis. Photosystem-I also produces NADPH.

So, the correct option is, 'Produces carbohydrates through carbon dioxide fixation'.
