Options

  1. Aan iron-sulphur protein
  2. Bferredoxin
  3. Ccytochrome
  4. Dplastocyanin

Correct answer

A. an iron-sulphur protein

Step-by-step solution

In photosystem I, the primary electron acceptor is probably a Fe-S protein. The reduced primary acceptor transfers the electrons to the secondary electron acceptor P430\mathrm{P}_{430}. The reduced P430\mathrm{P}_{430} passes its electrons to ferredoxin (Fd)(\mathrm{Fd}) present at the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane. Related Theory In light reaction of photosynthesis two types of photosystems are involved. PS-I consists of plenty of chlorophyll- aa and very less quantity of chlorophyll-b. These pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction centre - P700P_{700} After absorbing adequate amount of light energy electron gets excited from P700P_{700} molecule and moves to iron-sulphur protein complex, designated as AA (Fe-S). It gets reduced after accepting electrons. It later gives this electron to ferredoxin and gets oxidized again. In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is:
