In cyanobacterial anoxygenic photosynthesis where is the electron donted?
A. PS1
B. PS2
C. either PS1 or PS2
D. Q
E. NAD(P)+
Solution
Answer would be
E. NAD(P)+
Explination
In cyanobacterial anoxygenic photosynthesis, as light is absorbed by reaction-center(P840), It gets in excited state with a large negative reduction potential, thus readily donates the electron to bacteriochlorophyll 663 which passes it down the electron chain. Finally the electron is transferred through a series of electron carriers and complexes until it is used to reduce NAD+
