Question

Which of the following is the characteristic of PS- I?
  1. PS- I is involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
  2. The reaction centre of PS- I is P680.
  3. PS- I is reduced by the electrons released in photolysis of water.
  4. It is active only up to 680 nm of light.

A
The reaction centre of PS- I is P680.
B
PS- I is involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
C
It is active only up to 680 nm of light.

Verified by Toppr

Photosystem- I is located in the non-appressed part of grana thylakoids as well as stroma thylakoids. In this photosystem, chlorophyll carotenoid content is high. Its photocentre is P700. Pigment molecules of PS- I absorb at or below 700nm wavelength of light. It receives electrons from photosystem- II. Photosystem- I is involved in both cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation. It is not connected with photolysis of water. Usually, it hands over its electron to NADP+.
