Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules, which help in transfer of the signals from one neuron to another. Inside the neurons, the signals are transferred as electrical signals, but at junction of two neuron, which is known as synapse, the signals are transferred in chemical forms.

These neurotransmitters have a definite shape and are recognized by the receptors present in the receptor site of the succeeding neuron. The neurotransmitters from the synapse binds to the receptor site of the receiving neuron. binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor causes excitation of the receiving neuron, which also known as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, Like a key in a lock, the shape of the neurotransmitter must bind with the receptors of the receiving neuron.

Which molecule is the final electron acceptor for electrons from photosystem I? a. Oxygen b. Chlorophyll in photosystem II c. Ca
Mumz [18]

The molecule which is the final electron acceptor for electrons from photosystem I is (d) NADP⁺.

Photosystem I is the protein complex involved in the process of photosynthesis. It captures the light energy to mediate the transfer of electrons from a series of electron transporters. It is involved in non-cyclic as well as cyclic photophosphorylation.

NADP⁺ is the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate. It acts as a coenzyme. It is an important constituent in various anabolic reactions like Calvin cycle, lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, etc. The oxidized form of NADP⁺ is NADPH. It is present in organisms of almost all kinds.
