Concept explainers
(a)
To explain: How the inhibitor of electron passage through pheophytin would affect electron flow through photosystem II.
Introduction:
The light reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. This light reaction of photosyntesis is also called as Z scheme because the light first strikes to photosystem unit I where 2e- (two electrons) are released and then these electrons pass through photosystem II. The end product of light reaction is the production of ATP and NADPH.
