Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Ferredoxin is a constituent of PS I.Ferredoxins are nonheme-iron-containing proteins and are mainly found in anaerobic bacteria and chloroplasts.
Ferredoxin and flavodoxin are soluble proteins that are reduced by the terminal electron acceptors of photosystem I.
When NADP+ and a suitable enzyme are present, two ferredoxin molecules, carrying one electron each, transfer two electrons to NADP+, which picks up a proton and becomes NADPH.
