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

Correct answer: D. 700 nm

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

Explanation

PSI (Photosystem I) is a complex of chlorophyll a pigment molecules that absorbs light at a wavelength of 700 nm, which is the far-red end of the visible spectrum. This light energy is then used to drive the electron transfer chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ultimately leading to the production of ATP and NADPH.

About Bioenergetics

Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
