Is photosystem 2 light dependent?
Both photosystem 2 & 1 are light-dependent.
Which photosystem is used first in photosynthesis?
Photosystem 2 happens in photosynthesis before photosystem 1. However they are numbered in order of how they were discovered. Photosystem 1 was discovered before photosystem 2. In photosynthesis the order of them is 2 then 1. meaning that photosystem 1 was discovered 1st but photosystem 2 happens 1st in photosynthesis
What is a role of photosystem 2 in light reactions?
Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+
Photosynthesis consists of two types of reactions?
There is a light reaction and a dark reaction (the Calvin Cycle). The light reaction is divided into 3 parts, Photosystem II, the Electron Transport Chain, and Photosystem I. The light reaction begins in Photosystem II when light hits the thylakoid so the chlorophyll loses and electron, and the electron moves up in energy levels and reaches the primary anceptor. From here it passes through the electron transport chain which is similar to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration, but it occurs in the thykaloids proton gradient is reversed through the membrane. Then it enters phtosystem I which is essentially the same thing as photosystem I, and the electrons from there pass through another electron transport chain. This produces ATP and NADPH which are used in the dark reaction, or Calvin Cycle, which is again similar to the Citric Acid Cycle but it begins with Acetyl acetate and produces 2 ATP 6 NADH and 1 FADH 2 per every 2 turns which are required to produce one glucose molecule, the ultimate goal of photosynthesis. I hope this was enough detail.
What fills the electron hole in photsystem 1 and 2?
In photosystem 2- water(photolysis) In photosystem 1 - electron from photosystem 2
What does the energy come from to make NADPH in the light reaction?
Photosystem 1

What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem II absorbs light?
they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1
Photosystem 1 and photosystem 2?
Photosystem I and II are two types of reaction centers found in thylakoid membranes, which are the sites of protein synthesis located in the leaves of plants. The function of reaction centers is to convert light energy into chemical energy (photophosphorylation). Now the difference between photosystem I and photosystem II is that each is able to absorb a particular wavelength. Photosystem 2 has a maximum absorption at a wavelength of 680 nanometers. Photosystem 1 best absorbs light at a wavelength of 700 nanometers. Hope this helps!

What protein complex absorbs in energy that used to produce NADPH?
Photosystem 1

Are ATP molecules made during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
An electron transport chain is gone through when electrons are transferred from photosystem 1 to photosystem 2. ETC pumps protons through the thykaloid. Protons are diffused out of the thykaloid and through the ATP synthase.
How do photosystem 1 and 2 allow the calvin cycle to work?
No. Photosystems I and II are where light-dependent reactions occur, while the Calvin Cycle is where light-independent reactions occur. Photosynthesis begins with Photosystem II, then Photosystem I, then the products from there go to the Calvin Cycle. (yes photosystem II comes before photosystem I)
How do the reaction centers of photosystem you and II differ?
Photosystem 1 has chlorophyll a molecule which absorbs maximum light of 700 nm and is called P700 whereas photosystem 2 has chlorophyll a molecule which absorbs light of 680 nm and is called P680.
Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 occur?
1. Photosystem I is found in the membrane facing the inside of the grana and Photosystem II is found in membrane facing the stromaTHYLAKOID MEMBRANE
