Activities such as amino acid synthesis and active transport in plant cells are powered by _____.
a. the light reactions and carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis.
b. ATP from the light reactions of photosynthesis.
c. ATP from alcoholic fermentation.
d. ATP from glycolysis and cellular respiration.
e. ATP from lactic acid fermentation

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

In-plant cells, ATP is synthesized during photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  The ATP molecule formed during photosynthesis is utilized during the synthesis of sugar molecule during the Calvin cycle.

The ATP which are synthesised during the cellular respiration is higher in number as compared to photosynthesis. In cellular respiration, the ATP is synthesised during the glycolysis and electron transport chain which accounts for 34 to 36 ATP molecules.

These ATP molecules are utilized to perform other metabolic functions like amino acid synthesis and active transport.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
