Q. Assertion :Cyclic photophosphorylation synthesizes ATP Reason: ATP synthesize in cyclic photophosphorylation is not associated with NADPH formation

Q. Assertion : In case of cyclic photophosphorylation, there is no production of NADPH and oxygen.

Reason : As the electron flows cyclically and NADPH is present in sufficient amount in the cell, hence, cyclic photophosphorylation occurs to provide ATP to power other activities in chloroplast.

Q. How are ATP, NADPH and oxygen produced in noncyclic photophosphorylation.

Q. Assertion: Cyclic photo phosphyorylation synthesizes ATP.
Reason: ATP synthesize in cyclic phosphyorylation is associated with NADPH formation.

For every CO₂ molecule entering the Calvin cycle, the number of ATP and NADPH required is
