What group in photosystem II (PSII)directly reacts with H₂O during its light-driven oxidation? A) oxygen evolving center B) P680 C) tyrosine D) pheophytin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The oxygen evolving center in photosystem II directly reacts with H₂O during its light-driven oxidation. This reaction is crucial for the oxygen-evolving complex to perform its crucial role in photosynthesis. Option B, P680, is the primary electron donor in PSII, but it does not directly react with H₂O. Tyrosine (Option C) and pheophytin (Option D) are involved in electron transfer in PSII but do not directly interact with H₂O during its oxidation.
