Oxidation of water to form molecular oxygen is very difficult: The photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex is the only known biochemical system that carries out this reaction which essential cofactor are involved in the water-oxidizing process?
#Question id: 10131
#Section 2: General Biology
The detailed chemical mechanism of the oxidation of water to O2 is not yet well understood, but with structural information shows_one electron carrier, generally identified as Yz, functions between the oxygen-evolving complex and P680 to function in this region, Yz needs to have a very strong tendency to retain its electrons, this species has been identified as;

Some herbicides such as dichlorophenyldimethylurea (DCMU, also known as diuron) and paraquat, block photosynthetic electron flow from where ?
a.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the quinone acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of plastoquinone that is normally occupied by PQB
b.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the early acceptors of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components
c.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the pheophytin acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of pheophytin
d.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the Iron-sulfur system of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components
Which of the following combination is true?
