Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between photosystem i and photosystem ii?

a. they are interchangeable systems allowing plant cells to use one or the other.
b. they operate independently but simultaneously to maximize light absorption.
c. they operate in sequence, with photosystem i supplying electrons to photosystem ii.
d. they operate in sequence, with photosystem ii supplying electrons to photosystem i.

Answer;

D. They operate in sequence, with photosystem II supplying electrons to photosystem I.

Explanation;Photosystem I and photosystem II function to absorb light energy and donate protons to proteins in electron transport chains. Electrons are transferred sequentially between the two photosystems, with photosystem I acting to generate NADPH and photosystem II acting to generate ATP. Electron transport helps generate a proton gradient that powers ATP production and also stores energy in the reduced coenzyme NADPH, which is used to power the Calvin Cycle to produce sugar and other carbohydrates.

The correct answer is d. They operate in sequence, with photosystem II supplying electrons to photosystem I.

Photosystem I or pigment system I consists of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The reaction centre of photosystem I is P700, is a chlorophyll a molecule whose absorption spectrum peaks at 700 nm. Whereas, photosystem II or pigment system II consists of chlorophyll b and chlorophyll a. The reaction centre of photosystem II is P680, is a chlorophyll a molecule whose absorption spectrum peaks at 680 nm.  

Photosystem II uses light energy to splits (photolysis) water and extracts electrons. The electrons form photosystem II are passed to photosystem I through to cytochromes. The electrons at photosystem I reduce NADP+ to NADPH.

The complementary base order would be T-A-A-C-G-T.

Explanation:

Guanine (G), Adenine (A), Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) are the nitrogenous bases of DNA. They can be found throughout the DNA molecule, as it is the constitution of their strands. These bases are complementary to each other and allow the strands of DNA to be held together by the complementarity between them. This is because A binds with T and G binds with C. Therefore, if a DNA strand had an A-T-T-G-C-A base sequence, it would have a complementary base order of T-A-A-C-G-T.
