    In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is

    A)  ferredoxin           

    B)  cytochrome

    C)  plastocyanin

    D)           an iron-sulphur protein

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In photogystem-l, the primary electron acceptor is probably a Fe-S protein. The reduced primary acceptor transfers the electrons to secondary electron acceptor (most probably \[{{P}_{430}}\]). The sequence of electron transfer is as follows \[\underset{Chlrophyll-a\text{ }\,\,\,\,Phylloquinone\text{ (}Fe-s)\,Protein}{\mathop{{{P}_{700}}\xrightarrow{{{e}^{-}}}{{A}_{1}}\xrightarrow{{{e}^{-}}}{{A}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{{e}^{-}}}\underset{{{P}_{430.}}}{\mathop{{{A}_{3}}}}\,\] The reduced \[{{P}_{430}}\] passes its electrons to ferridoxin (Fd) present at outer surface of thylakoid membrane.
