The Z-scheme in photosynthesis describes:

  • A The sequential transfer of electrons along the mitochondrial respiratory chain
  • B Cyclic electron flow restricted entirely to Photosystem I alone
  • C Non-cyclic electron transport in light reactions
  • D The semi-conservative copying of the genome prior to cell division

Correct answer: C. Non-cyclic electron transport in light reactions

Explanation: Z-scheme: electrons from water (via PS II) and from PS I flow in a Z-shaped path, generating ATP and NADPH in non-cyclic photophosphorylation.

Concept context

Cell theory, prokaryotic vs eukaryotic cells, organelles and their functions. Foundation of all biology.
