NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
Read the following statements and choose the follwoing option: 1. Reaction centre is different in both the photosystems 2. The LHC are made up of pigments which are not bound to proteins 3. PS II it has absorption maxima at 680 nm, and is called P680 4. The splitting of water is associated with the PS I 5. When the two photosystems work in a series, first PS II and then the PS I, a process called cyclic photo-phospho
Options
- AOnly 3 is correct
- BBoth 1 and 3 is correct
- CAll are incorrect
- DOnly 5 is correct
Correct answer
B. Both 1 and 3 is correct
Step-by-step solution
The reaction centre is different in both the photosystems. In PS I the reaction centre chlorophyll a has an absorption peak at 700 nm, hence is called P700, while in PS II it has absorption maxima at 680 nm, and is called P680.
