Question

The reaction centre PS II has an absorption maxima at

• A. 700 nm
• B. 660 nm
• C. 780 nm
• D. 680 nm

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The reaction centre known as Photosystem II (PS II) is a crucial part of the photosynthetic process in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The absorption maxima of the reaction center refers to the specific wavelength of light that is most effectively absorbed during the photochemical reactions. PS II primarily functions in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where it captures photons and uses this energy to extract electrons from water molecules, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

The correct absorption maxima for the reaction centre PS II is 680 nm. Hence, the correct answer is:

• 680 nm
