T or F ATP is the product of photosystem 1
ATP in photosynthesis is found in the light reaction but, is only created provided there is a uneven distribution of protons (different pH) over the thylakoid membrane. Photosystem 1 (remember that photosystem 2 comes before photosystem 1), uses light energy (photons) to generate reduced ferredoxin, a powerful reductant, which then with ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase converts NADP+ into NADPH. It does therefore not have anything to do with the movement of protons. In addition to this in order for the proton gradient to make ATP the enzyme ATP-syntase is used for this and is not a integrated part of the photosystems. Based on the above theory you tell me: Is it true or false that ATP is a product of photosystem 1?
ATP is produced in the mitochondria. I think it would be false, but you need to check if plants are able to create ATP too.
Just read what I wrote... the answer is in there.
