Which is the best description of photophosphorylation?
the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll
the conversion of light energy to chemical energy
the removal of a phosphate group from a molecule
the conversion of adp to atp using light energy

The answer is the conversion of ADP to ATP using light energy. Photophosphorylation occurs in the light stage of photosynthesis. There are two types of photophosphorylation; cyclic and non-cyclic. In cyclic (which occurs only in bacteria), only photosystem I is utilized in the process while in non-cyclic, both photosystems I and II are used. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, in addition to ATP, NADH is also synthesized.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
