MCQ
In noncyclic photophosphorylation, the pigment molecule first excited is
  • ${P_{680}}$
  • B
    ${P_{700}}$
  • C
    Chlorophyll-$b$
  • D
    Xanthophyll

Answer

Correct option: A.
${P_{680}}$
a
(a) Green plants and algae use two types of photosystems, $PS-I$ with chl. $P_{700}$ in its reaction centre and $PS-II$ with $P_{680}$ in its reaction centre.

The two photosystems are linked by a chain of electron carriers. Light excites $P_{680}$ of $PS-II$ to activated $P_{680}$.
