Question

In Z-scheme, zig-zag movement of electron is due to

• A. Uphill transport of electron
• B. Downhill transport of electron
• C. Arrangement of electron carriers according to their redox potential
• D. Cyclic movement of electron

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Arrangement of electron carriers according to their redox potential

The ability of a substance to give up or take up electron depends upon its redox potential value. Substance with low redox potential will lose electrons easily and substance with high redox potential will gain electrons.
