photoyisis of each water molecule in light reaction will yield

Options

A. 2 electrons and 4 protons
B. 4 electrons and 4 protons
C. 4 electrons and 3 protons
D. 2 electrons and 2 protons

Answer

D

Explanation

The PSII reaction centre `P_650` by transferring an electron to primary acceptors become oxidized. This oxidized chlorophyll molecule takes replacement electron from water which splits releasing oxygen `2H_2O rArr 4H^(+) + 4e^(-) + O_2`
