The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the first electron acceptor in Photosystem I (PSI), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Role of Photosystem I (PSI)**: - Photosystem I is a complex of proteins and pigments located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. Its primary function is to absorb light energy and facilitate the transfer of electrons. 2. **Identify the Components of PSI**: - PSI contains various components, including chlorophyll, which absorbs light, and several proteins that assist in the electron transport chain. 3. **Determine the Process of Electron Transfer**: - When PSI absorbs light, it excites electrons, which are then transferred through a series of proteins. The first electron acceptor in this process is critical for understanding the flow of energy. 4. **Evaluate the Given Options**: - (a) Plastocyanin: This is a copper-containing protein that transfers electrons from the cytochrome b6f complex to PSI, but it is not the first acceptor. - (b) An iron-sulfur protein: This refers to proteins that contain iron-sulfur clusters and are involved in electron transfer, but they are not the first acceptor in PSI. - (c) Ferredoxin: This is a small iron-sulfur protein that receives electrons from PSI and is indeed the first electron acceptor. - (d) Cytochrome: These are proteins that play a role in electron transport but are not the first acceptor in PSI. 5. **Conclude with the Correct Answer**: - Based on the information, the first electron acceptor in Photosystem I is **(c) Ferredoxin**. ### Final Answer: (c) Ferredoxin
