Question

P680 is said to be the strongest biological oxidizing agent. Given its function, why is this necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - it obtains electrons from the oxygen atom in a water molecule, so it must have a stronger attraction for electrons than oxygen has

Explanation:

P680 known as which contains a reaction center in photosystem two, it is a very strong oxidizing agent that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from H2O to a bound quinone, with the production of O2.

To have a stronger attraction for electrons than oxygen has, P680 gets electrons from the O2 atom in a water molecule.
