NEET Botany Light Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): ATP synthesis in the light reaction of photosynthesis requires a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.
Reason (R): The CF0 component of ATP synthase facilitates the diffusion of protons across the thylakoid membrane, leading to ATP formation.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are supported by the NCERT context. The ATP synthase enzyme, through its CF0 component, facilitates proton diffusion that drives ATP synthesis, validating the assertion and reason.
