Photosynthesis In Higher Plants Question 112

Question: Assertion : The stromal thylakoids are rich in both PS I and PS II. Reason : The granal membranes are rich in ATP synthetase.

Options:

A) If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D) If both the assertion and reason are false

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The grana stacks of membranes are enriched in PS II and LHC (Light harvesting centre), while there is little ATP synthetase.

On the other hand, a fraction of stroma thylakoids is rich in PS I and ATPase and poor in PS II and LHC.
