Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts is possible because of:

1. establishment of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.
2. diffusion of electrons through the ATP synthase.
3. osmosis of water from thylakoid to stroma.
4. presence of large amount of oxygen in the stroma.

The relationship between photosynthesis and respiration can be best described as:

1. Photosynthesis and respiration are reversal of each other in biochemical pathways.
2. Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.
3. Respiration occurs only in animals and photosynthesis occurs only in plants.
4. Respiration results in formation of ATP but photosynthesis can only use them.

Probably the strongest biological oxidizing agent is P680+ because:

1. It accepts electron in both photosystems.
2. It transfers electrons to plastoquinone.
3. It strongly attracts electrons formed by the splitting of water.
4. It transfers electrons to plastocyanin.
