KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 11. Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Electron from excited chlorophyll molecules of photosystem II are accepted first by
- A ferredoxin
- B phaeophytin
- C cytochrome b
- D cytochrome f
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) phaeophytin
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) phaeophytin,
Electron from excited chlorophyll molecules of Photosystem II are first accepted by phaeophytin. Phaeophytin then transfers the electrons to plastoquinone (PQ) pool, initiating the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
