The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which electron carrier contains copper. This means we need to identify a protein involved in electron transfer during photosynthesis that has copper as part of its structure. 2. **Identifying Electron Carriers**: In photosynthesis, there are several known electron carriers. The options provided include: - Ferredoxin - Cytochrome - Plastocyanin - Hydrochrome 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Ferredoxin**: This is an iron-sulfur protein that does not contain copper. Therefore, it is not the correct answer. - **Cytochrome**: This group of proteins typically contains heme groups with iron, not copper. Thus, it is also not the correct answer. - **Plastocyanin**: This is a copper-containing protein that plays a crucial role in the electron transport chain during photosynthesis. It is the correct answer. - **Hydrochrome**: This term is not commonly associated with a specific electron carrier in photosynthesis and does not contain copper. Therefore, it is not the correct answer. 4. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the only electron carrier that contains copper is **Plastocyanin**. **Final Answer**: Plastocyanin ---
