Question

The reaction center is different in both the photosystems.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

The doubt is from Higher Plants Photosynthesis in section Photosynthesis in Higher Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

For explanation I would say: It is true since chlorophyll a has an absorption peak at 700 nm for PS I. For PS II, it has got an absorption maximum at 680 nm. Hence, the names P700 and P680 were given for the reaction centers.
