Phytochrome-mediated nuclear import occurs upon conversion to:

The right choice is B: Pfr. In PSS-Sec-E-Sensory biology, that matches how the process or concept actually works — the other choices mix up related ideas or use the wrong mechanism. Skip these: A) Pr; C) Inactive form; D) Phototropin. A quick check: if an option needs energy, pumps, or the opposite direction of movement, ask whether that really applies.

Red light converts phytochrome from:

Answer: B) Pr to Pfr. For PSS-Sec-E-Sensory biology, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Pfr to Pr; C) Inactive to active cryptochrome; D) Active to inactive. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.
