Which of the following describes the correct sequence of electron flow in non-cyclic photophosphorylation?

  1. P700 → Pheophytin → P680 → NADP+
  2. P680 → Electron Transport Chain → P700 → NADP+
  3. P700 → P680 → Plastoquinone → NADPH
  4. Water → P700 → Cytochromes → P680
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: P680 → Electron Transport Chain → P700 → NADP+

Electrons are first excited in PS II (P680), pass through a series of electron carriers (ETS), reach PS I (P700), are excited again, and finally reduce NADP+ to NADPH.
