Biology Photosynthesis in Higher Plants NEET

In photosynthesis, what occurs in PS-II?

(A)It uses a longer wavelength of light and takes electrons from water
(B)It uses a shorter wavelength of light and takes electrons from waterCorrect
(C)It uses a longer wavelength of light and takes electrons from NADP
(D)It uses a shorter wavelength of light and takes electrons from NADP

Answer: (B)

Solution

PS-II's reaction centre (P680) absorbs a shorter wavelength (around 680 nm) than PS-I (P700), and it is PS-II that replaces its lost electrons
