Arrange the path of electrons from water to the phycocyanin in the light reaction.

i) Plastoquinone

ii) Excited P680*

iii) Cyt f

iv) Fe-S

v) Pheophytin

vi) Quinone

The correct sequence is

MEDIUM

Assertion A: During photophosphorylation protons are transported across the membrane and accumulated inside the lumen.

Reason R: To develop proton gradient, pheophytin transfers electrons to hydrogen carriers instead of electron carrier.
