The 'Z-scheme' describes the pathway of electron flow from ________ to ________.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Water to NADP+
The Z-scheme illustrates the whole scheme of transfer of electrons, starting from the splitting of water to PS II, up the electron transport chain to PS I, and finally down to NADP+. The characteristic shape is formed when carriers are placed according to their redox potential.
