Question

The z scheme of photosynthesis was proposed by

• A. Hill and Bendall
• B. Emerson
• C. Arnon
• D. Rabinowitch and Govindjee

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Hill and Bendall

The Z scheme shows the pathway of electron transfer from water to NADP${}^{+}$. Using this pathway, plants transform light energy into electrical energy and hence, into chemical energy as reduced NADPH and ATP. Hill and Bendall proposed the Z scheme. It involves both the photosystem, PS I and PS II.

So, the correct answer is option A.
