During a discussion of photosynthesis,you are given the following series of facts: 1.Photosystem P700 alone is involved.
2)Water-splitting is not occurring.
3)A proton gradient is created in the Thylakoid lumen.
To which of the following processes do these statements collectively refer?
A)linear electron transport
B)cyclic electron transport
C)the Calvin cycle
D)the Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given facts collectively refer to cyclic electron transport. In cyclic electron transport, only photosystem P700 is involved and water-splitting does not occur. This process generates a proton gradient in the Thylakoid lumen. Therefore, the given series of facts match the characteristics of cyclic electron transport. The other options such as linear electron transport and the Calvin cycle involve different steps and components of photosynthesis. The Krebs cycle is not directly related to photosynthesis, it is a part of cellular respiration.
