Is plastoquinone a mobile carrier?


Open in App
Solution

Plastoquinone:

  1. In the electron transport chain, it is an isoprenoid quinone molecule.
  2. The mobile electron carrier that passes across the thylakoid membrane plays a function in this situation, more especially in the light reactions of photosynthesis.
  3. A 2-, 3-dimethyl-1, 4-benzoquinone molecule with a side chain made up of nine isopropyl units is the most prevalent type of plastoquinone.
  4. The electron is ejected when PS II receives light with a wavelength of 680 nm.
  5. Phaeophyta, plastoquinone, cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin are among the electron carriers it successively goes through.

Yes, plastoquinone is a mobile carrier.
