Photosynthesis In Higher Plants

Phytol chain is present in chlorophyll.

Answer (a) Oxaloacetate

In light reaction of photosynthesis two types of photosystems are involved. PS-I consists of plenty of chlorophyll-a and very less quantity of chlorophyll- h. These pigments absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction centre - P-700. After absorbing adequate amount of light energy electron gets excited from P-700 molecule and moves to iron-sulphur protein complex, designated as A (Fe-S). It gets reduced after accepting electrons. It later gives these electron to ferredoxin and gets oxidized again.
