In the photosystem I photocenter,light energy captured by pigment molecules is passed on to a special molecule called A)P₆₈₀. B)P₇₀₀. C)chlorophyll I. D)chlorophyll II. E)retinal.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The special molecule in the photosystem I photocenter that receives the light energy from the pigment molecules is known as the reaction center chlorophyll, which has a specific wavelength of absorption at around 700 nm. This chlorophyll molecule is referred to as P700, and it is the primary electron acceptor in photosystem I. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B - P₇₀₀.
