Question

In non-cyclic photophosphorylation there is photolysis of 12 water molecules. How many $H^{+}$ are formed?

• A. 24 $H^{+}$
• B. 36 $H^{+}$
• C. 12 $H^{+}$
• D. 32 $H^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 24 $H^{+}$

When a single molecule of water is photolysed, two molecules of $H^{+}$ ions are formed. Thus, if 12 molecules of water are involved, 24 molecules of $H^{+}$ are produced

So, the correct answer is '24 $H^{+}$
