Many Antenna Complexes Have a common structural motif In all eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms that contain both chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, the most abundant antenna proteins are members of a large family of structurally related proteins, some of these proteins are associated with PSI and PSII such as LHCI and LHCII , Select the incorrect one regarding LHC complexes;

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Photosystem I with the LHC I trimer in thylakoid membrane are predominantly higher in comparison to PSII with the LHC II dimer
  2. The structure of one of the LHCII proteins has been determined it contains three α-helical regions and binds about 15 chlorophyll a and b molecules, as well as a few carotenoids
  3. Light absorbed by carotenoids or chlorophyll b in the LHC proteins is rapidly transferred to chlorophyll a and then to other antenna pigments that are intimately associated with the reaction centre.
  4. Photosystem II are associated with light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) proteins while photosystem I are associated with light-harvesting complex I (LHCI) proteins These antenna complexes are also known as chlorophyll a/b antenna proteins

The pressure-flow model, first proposed by Ernst Münch, Phloem loading at the source and phloem unloading at the sink establish the pressure gradient.

a.) In source tissues, an accumulation of sugars in the sieve elements generates a lower or negative solute potential (ψs).

 b.) source tissue, causes a steep drop in the water potential (ψ), due to water potential gradient, water enters the sieve elements and causes turgor pressure (ψp ) decrease.

c.) In sink tissues, phloem unloading leads to a lower sugar concentration in the sieve elements, generating a higher or less negative solute potential.

d.) As the water potential of the phloem rises above that of the xylem, water tends to leave the phloem in response to the water potential gradient, causing a decrease in turgor pressure in the sieve elements of the sink.

Which of the following statements of sink and source tissue is FALSE?
