Photophosphorylation is a process that occurs during photosynthesis in plants. It is the conversion of ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) using light energy. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of life of all living organisms. Without ATP, cells will not be able to perform their proper functions.

Through the process of phosphorylation, light energy is used to create electron donors and electron acceptors that move spontaneously through the process of electron transport chains. </span>
Controls what goes in and out of a cell
Answer:
(a) an aquaporin
Explanation:
An aquaporin is a water channel which forms a pore in the cell membrane and facilitates the movement of water. Aquaporin is an integral membrane protein (permanently attached to the membrane) that enables the in and out flow of the water. This channel also prevents the passage of ions and other solutes, so it cannot change the voltage. There are four types of aquaporins, and they are mostly found in the kidney with the function of water reabsorption.
