In photosynthesis what occurs in PS-II?

In photosynthesis what occurs in PS-II?

Options

  1. AIt takes longer wavelength of light and e−e^{-} from H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
  2. BIt takes shorter wavelength of light and e−e^{-}from H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
  3. CIt takes longer wavelength of light and e−e^{-} from NADP
  4. DIt takes shorter wavelength of light and e−e^{-}from NADP

Correct answer

B. It takes shorter wavelength of light and e−e^{-}from H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}

Step-by-step solution

Green plants and algae use two type of photo-system called PS-I and PS -II. In PS-I chlorophyll absorb maximum at 700 nm wavelength of light thus reaction centre is P700\mathrm{P}_{700} and PS-II absorb maximum 680 nm wavelength of light thus reaction centre is P680.P680\mathrm{P}_{680} . \mathrm{P}_{680} (PS-II) extracts an electron from water, returning to its unexcited state because hydrolysis of H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} occurs in PS-II. So, O2\mathrm{O}_2 evolved in PS-II come from water.
