The correct Answer is:
To determine the sequential order of electron transport from Photosystem II (PS II) to Photosystem I (PS I) during photosynthesis, we can break down the process step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Excitation of Electrons in PS II**: - Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in PS II (specifically at the P680 reaction center), which excites electrons. 2. **Primary Electron Acceptor**: - The excited electrons are transferred to a primary electron acceptor, which is quinone (often referred to as QA or QB). 3. **Electron Transport Chain**: - From the primary acceptor, the electrons are passed along an electron transport chain. The first component in this chain is plastoquinone (PQ). 4. **Cytochrome Complex**: - The electrons are then transferred to the cytochrome b6f complex, which is a part of the electron transport chain. 5. **Plastocyanin**: - After passing through the cytochrome complex, the electrons are transferred to plastocyanin (PC). 6. **Transfer to PS I**: - The electrons from plastocyanin are then transferred to PS I (specifically at the P700 reaction center). 7. **Ferredoxin**: - In PS I, the electrons are excited again and passed to ferredoxin (Fd). 8. **Formation of NADPH**: - Finally, the electrons are transferred from reduced ferredoxin to NADP+ to form NADPH, catalyzed by the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase. ### Final Order of Electron Transport: The sequential order in electron transport from PS II to PS I is: - PS II (P680) → Quinone (QA/QB) → Plastoquinone (PQ) → Cytochrome Complex → Plastocyanin (PC) → PS I (P700) → Ferredoxin (Fd) → NADP+ → NADPH. ### Answer: The correct sequence is **PQ → Cytochrome Complex → Plastocyanin → PS I → Ferredoxin → NADP+**.
