Which of the following statements about photophosphorylation is FALSE? Energy from oxidation reactions is used to generate ATP f
rom ADP. It requires CO2. The oxidation of carrier molecules releases energy. It occurs in photosynthesizing cells. Light liberates an electron from chlorophyll.
Photophosphorylation is a process during which solar energy, in the form of a proton, impact on chlorophyll, exciting one electron. The excited electron pass along different carriers (Ferredoxin, cytochrome b6f and Plastocyanin) and eventually return to its origin. This electron passage promotes the formation of ATP from ADP (one molecule ATP is formed when three electrons pass throug the cycle).
