Which of the following statements about photophosphorylation is false? energy from oxidation reactions is used to generate atp from adp. it requires co2. the oxidation of carrier molecules releases energy. it occurs in photosynthesizing cells. light liberates an electron from chlorophyll.

The FALSE statement is: It requires CO2.

Explanation:

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).

The use of fossil fuels has had an impact on our world already, whether we like it or not. The problems that arise with the use of fossil fuels has already had negative impacts on the world in social, economic, health and natural spheres. These problems include pollution, disproportionate wealth distribution, species extinction and other major health risks. Despite the fact that fossil fuels are slowly but surely running out, the Earth has seen enough destruction for us to realise that the continued use thereof will cause even greater potential risks. With global warming in the spotlight across the globe, species extinction on the rise and wealth distribution becoming more disparate, we need to start relying on renewable sources of energy, for the benefit of mankind and the Earth as a whole.
