In photosynthesis what occurs in PS-II?
In photosynthesis what occurs in PS-II?
Options
- AIt takes longer wavelength of light and from
- BIt takes shorter wavelength of light and from
- CIt takes longer wavelength of light and from NADP
- DIt takes shorter wavelength of light and from NADP
Correct answer
B. It takes shorter wavelength of light and from
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 and PS-II absorb maximum 680 nm wavelength of light thus reaction centre is (PS-II) extracts an electron from water, returning to its unexcited state because hydrolysis of occurs in PS-II. So, evolved in PS-II come from water.
