Photolysis and Photophosphorylation.
✓
Answer
| Photolysis | Photophosphorylation |
| It is splitting of water in the presence of sunlight. | It is a process of formation of energy-rich compound ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate utilising light energy. |
| It involves following reactions : $\begin{array}{l}4 H _2 O \longrightarrow 4 H ^{+}+4( OH )^{-} \\ 4( OH ) \longrightarrow\end{array}$ | It involves following reaction : $ADP + Pi \longrightarrow ATP$ |
| Oxygen liberated is released in the atmosphere. | ATP acts as assimilatory powers to provide energy for dark reaction. |
