NEET Botany Light Reaction MCQ Question
In the light reaction of photosynthesis, how is the energy generated from the proton gradient used by the ATP synthase enzyme?
To cause a conformational change in the CF1 particle to synthesize ATP
To directly convert ADP into glucose
To increase the concentration of oxygen in the stroma
To facilitate the breakdown of chlorophyll in the thylakoid membrane
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The energy from the proton gradient causes a conformational change in the CF1 particle of ATP synthase, enabling the synthesis of ATP, as described in the NCERT context.
