In the Z-scheme of light reactions, the movement of electrons from PS II to PS I occurs through which of the following?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cytochrome b6f complex
Electrons from PS II pass through the cytochrome b6f complex in the electron transport chain. This complex facilitates the transfer of electrons onward to PS I via plastocyanin.
