Answer:
This is by disrupting the mechanisms of photosynthesis.Paraquat is an herbicide. A photosynthesis inhibiting herbicides. In the light dependent reaction, It acts as oxidizing agent by accepting electrons from Photo system I. and lose these electrons to oxygen molecules which becomes oxidized.
Therefore, disrupting the electron transport chain.With the electron transport chain disrupted, PMF is inhibited, electrochemical gradients for generating energy for ATPs synthesis, by ATPase synthase enzyme is blocked.
Therefore, ATPs synthesis is prevented. With this, Calvin Cycle is blocked, so no CHO id formed. With lack of electron transport chain, NADPH will not be formed. .
