    Cu is present in :

    A)  plasmalemma  

    B)  plastoquinone

    C)  plastocyanin   

    D)  ferredoxin

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Plastocyanin is a copper containing protein that accepts electrons by the copper cycling between \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]and \[C{{u}^{+}}\]states during photophosphorylation. \[PQ{{H}_{2}}+2PC(C{{u}^{2+}})\xrightarrow{cyt.{{b}_{6}}complex}\]   \[PQ+2PC\,(C{{u}^{+}}+2{{H}^{+}}\] Iron \[(F{{e}^{2+}}F{{e}^{3+}})\] is found in ferredoxin, which is required in electron transport in photosynthesis and respiration. Plasmalemma (cell membrane) is composed of lipids, protein and carbohydrates.
