Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does the electron-acceptor molecule transfer electrons?
A
photosystem I
B
photosystem II
C
the thylakoid space
D
the electron transport system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The electron arrives at photosystem I and joins the P700 special pair of chlorophylls in the reaction center. When light energy is absorbed by pigments and passed inward to the reaction center, the electron in P700 is boosted to a very high energy level and transferred to an acceptor molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -F. Photosystem I. Photosystem I receives electrons from plastocyanin or cytochrome c6 on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane and uses light energy to transfer them across the membrane to ferredoxin on the stromal side.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final Answer: In Photosystem I the first electron acceptor is an iron-sulphur protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, a terminal electron acceptor refers to either the last compound to receive an electron in an electron transport chain, such as oxygen during cellular respiration, or the last cofactor to receive an electron within the electron transfer domain of a reaction center during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosystem I (PSI) is a multisubunit protein complex located in the thylakoid membranes of green plants and algae, where it initiates one of the first steps of solar energy conversion by light-driven electron transport.
