The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the evolution of molecular oxygen and its association with photosystems, we can break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understand Photosystems Photosystems are complexes in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts that play a crucial role in photosynthesis. There are two main types: Photosystem I (PS-I) and Photosystem II (PS-II). ### Step 2: Identify the Role of PS-II Photosystem II (PS-II) is primarily responsible for the photolysis of water, a process that splits water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. This reaction occurs when PS-II absorbs light energy, specifically at a wavelength of about 680 nanometers. ### Step 3: Clarify the Role of PS-I Photosystem I (PS-I) absorbs light at a longer wavelength (around 700 nanometers) and is involved in the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, but it does not directly contribute to the evolution of molecular oxygen. ### Step 4: Analyze the Statements - Statement [A]: "The evolution of molecular oxygen is concerned with photosystem-1 (PS-I)" is incorrect because PS-I does not produce oxygen. - Statement [R]: "The photosystem-11 (PS-II) is not involved in the evolution of oxygen" is also incorrect because PS-II is indeed responsible for the evolution of oxygen. ### Conclusion Both statements are false. The correct understanding is that PS-II is the photosystem involved in the evolution of molecular oxygen, while PS-I plays a different role in the photosynthetic process. ### Final Answer Both statements [A] and [R] are false. ---
