                    In photosystem-I, the first electron acceptor is:                                                                                                

    A)                  ferredoxin        

    B)                  cytochrome      

    C)                  plastocyanin     

    D)                  an iron-sulphur protein

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In photogystem I, the primary electron acceptor is probably a Fe - S protein. The reduced primary acceptor transfers the electrons to secondary electron acceptor (most probably \[{{P}_{430}}\]) The sequence of electron transfer is as follows:                 \[\underset{(Chl.\,{{a}^{+}})}{\mathop{{{P}_{700}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{e}^{-}}}\,\underset{(phylloquinone)}{\mathop{{{A}_{1}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{e}^{-}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Fe+S \\  protein) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{A}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{{e}^{-}}}\underset{({{P}_{430}})}{\mathop{{{A}_{3}}}}\,\]                 The reduced \[{{P}_{430}}\] passes its electrons to ferredoxin (Fd) present at outer surface of thylakoid membrane.
