Vedclass · Accepted Answer

It absorbs shorter wavelength of light and electrons from $H_2O$.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) $PS-II$ absorbs light at a maximum wavelength of $680 \; nm$,and its reaction center is $P_{680}$.$PS-II$ extracts electrons from water molecules through the process of photolysis (splitting of water).This process releases electrons,protons $(H^+)$,and oxygen $(O_2)$.The electrons released from water replace the electrons lost by the reaction center of $PS-II$ during the light-dependent reaction.
