Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll. These electrons are then trapped by the primary electron acceptor. How does the photosystem replace the trapped electrons?

a) The photosystem replaces its light-excited electrons by extracting electrons from oxygen. b) These electrons are not replaced. A molecule of chlorophyll in a photosystem is used up with each electron transferred. c) The photosystem replaces its light-excited electrons by extracting electrons from water. d) The photosystem replaces its light-excited electrons by extracting electrons from carbon dioxide. e) These electrons are not replaced. There are hundreds of millions of free electrons available in the photosystem at any particular time.
