Assertion : $\mathrm{O}_2$ is liberated in the non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
Reason: Liberation of oxygen is due to photolysis of water.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is a natural process that adds oxygen to the atmosphere through the photolysis of water. Photolysis is a chemical reaction that breaks down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using light energy and chlorophyll.
During non-cyclic photophosphorylation, photosystem II (PSII) splits water molecules, releasing oxygen and hydrogen ions. The two electrons from the water molecule are then kept in PSII, while the hydrogen and oxygen are released for other uses.
