The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of Photosystem I (PS-I), we will analyze each option provided and determine which one accurately describes PS-I. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Photosystem I (PS-I)**: - PS-I is one of the two photosystems in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. It plays a crucial role in converting light energy into chemical energy. 2. **Analyzing Option 1**: "It is active only up to 680 nm of light." - This statement is incorrect. The reaction center of PS-I is known as P700, which absorbs light most efficiently at a wavelength of 700 nm, not 680 nm. 3. **Analyzing Option 2**: "The reaction center of PS-I is P680." - This statement is also incorrect. The reaction center of PS-I is indeed P700, while P680 is the reaction center of Photosystem II (PS-II). 4. **Analyzing Option 3**: "PS-I is reduced by the electrons released in photolysis of water." - This statement is incorrect as well. Photolysis of water occurs in PS-II, and the electrons released are used to replenish the electron deficit in PS-II, not PS-I. 5. **Analyzing Option 4**: "PS-I is involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation." - This statement is correct. PS-I participates in both cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation, contributing to the production of ATP and NADPH. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct characteristic of PS-I is that it is involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **PS-I is involved in non-cyclic photophosphorylation.** ---
