During non-cyclic photophosphorylation, when electrons are lost from the reaction centre at PS II, what is the source which replaces these electrons?
A
Light
B
Oxygen
C
Water
D
Carbon dioxide
Detailed Solution
The electrons lost from the reaction centre (P680) of PS II are replaced by electrons obtained from the splitting (photolysis) of water, which also releases $O_2$ as a byproduct.
