PS I has chlorophyll a molecule which absorbs maximum light of _________ nm ?

Correct answer: D. 700

  • A. 600
  • B. 650
  • C. 680
  • D. 700

Explanation

Photosystem I has a reaction-centre chlorophyll a molecule called P700 because it absorbs maximally at about 700 nm. Students may choose 680 nm by confusing P700 with P680, the reaction centre of photosystem II.

About Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. The pathway differs in oxygen availability: aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields more ATP, while anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and forms lactic acid in muscles or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
