NEET Biology NEET PYQ-Photosynthesis and Translocation of Organic Solute

  • question_answer
    In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is: [AIPMT (S) 2006]

    A) ferredoxin

    B)               cytochrome

    C)   plastocyanin

    D)               an iron-sulphur protein

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [D] In photogystem I, 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 : \[\underset{(Chl.\,{{a}^{+}})}{\mathop{{{P}_{700}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{e}^{-}}}\,\underset{(phylloquinone)}{\mathop{{{A}_{1}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{e}^{-}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Fe+S \\  protein) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{A}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{{e}^{-}}}\underset{({{P}_{430}})}{\mathop{{{A}_{3}}}}\,\] The reduced \[{{P}_{430}}\] passes its electrons to ferredoxin (Fd) present at outer surface of thylakoid membrane.
