Question

Which one of the following concerns photophosphorylation:

$ADP+AMP\ \ ^{\underrightarrow{Light \ Energy}} \ \ ATP$

$ADP+Inorganic\ PO_4\ \ ^{\underrightarrow{Light \ Energy}} \ \ ATP$

$ADP+Inorganic \ PO_4$ $\longrightarrow$ $ATP$

$AMP+Inorganic\ PO_4\ \ ^{\underrightarrow{Light \ Energy}} \ \ ATP$

Answer

$ADP+Inorganic\ PO_4\ \ ^{\underrightarrow{Light \ Energy}} \ \ ATP$

Explanation

Solution

During photophosphorylation, ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate $(PO_4)$ are combined to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate) using the energy from light.

So, the correct option is (B): $ADP+Inorganic\ PO_4\ \ ^{\underrightarrow{Light \ Energy}} \ \ ATP$
