Correct answer
D. This shape can be formed regardless of whether the carriers are placed in a sequence on a redox potential scal
Step-by-step solution
In photosystem II the reaction centre chlorophyll a absorbs 680 nm wavelength of red light causing electrons to become excited and jump into an orbit farther from the atomic nucleus. The electrons are not used up as they pass through the electron transport chain, but are passed on to the pigments of photosystem PS I. This whole scheme of transfer of electrons, starting from the PS II, uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, excitation of electrons, transfer to another acceptor, and finall
