MCQ
Why is oxygen considered a byproduct of photosynthesis rather than the main product?
  • A. It directly participates in ATP formation
  • B. It is produced from water splitting, serving mainly as waste
  • C. It provides electrons to PSI
  • D. It regulates NADPH levels
✅ Correct Answer: B
Oxygen results from water splitting to replenish electrons at PSII and is released as a byproduct.
MCQ
Why is cytochrome b6f important in the ETC?
  • A. It links PSII to PSI and pumps protons into the lumen
  • B. It reduces COâ‚‚
  • C. It excites chlorophyll molecules and pumps protons into the lumen
  • D. It breaks down ATP
✅ Correct Answer: A
Cytochrome b6f is a membrane-bound complex that passes electrons and helps generate the proton gradient.

MCQ
Why is oxygen released only at PSII and not PSI?
  • A. PSI reduces Oâ‚‚ to water
  • B. Water splitting occurs only at PSII
  • C. PSI lacks pigment molecules
  • D. NADPH is oxidized at PSII
✅ Correct Answer: B
The oxygen-evolving complex is associated with PSII, where water is split to provide electrons.
MCQ
What is the source of electrons for the electron transport chain in chloroplasts?
  • A. ATP
  • B. Oxygen
  • C. Water
  • D. Glucose
✅ Correct Answer: C
Water is split in PSII, releasing electrons that enter the electron transport chain.
MCQ
Assertion (A): Oxygen evolution is linked to the inner side of the thylakoid membrane. Reason (R): The water-splitting complex associated with PSII is located on the inner side of the thylakoid.
  • A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C. A is true, R is false
  • D. A is false, R is true
✅ Correct Answer: A
The splitting of water, which produces oxygen, occurs on the inner (lumen-facing) side of the thylakoid where the water-splitting complex is situated.
