Photosystems are found in the structure called what?

There are two photosystems, and they can be found embedded in the thylakoid membranes. They are linked by electron transport molecules.


Origin of oxygen as a byproduct of noncyclic photophosphorylation?

Plant, green algae and some bacterial photosynthesis depend on noncyclic electron flow, which means that electrons lost by the photosystems are not recycled back to the photosystems but instead passed on to NADPH. To replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, these organisms rely on an oxygen evolving complex (mechanism not well understood) that split water into protons, electrons, and oxygen. The electrons are used to replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, the protons are used to generate the proton gradient used to produce ATP, and oxygen, not used by the plant, leaves as a byproduct.

They are found in the light reaction. Photosystems not involved in Calvin cycle.


Why can the Calvin cycle work at night but photosystems cant?

Because photosystems need light to operate (photo=light). Photosystems use energy from sunlight, Calvin systems use energy stored in the plant.


Where are Photosystems I and II found?

Photosystems I and II are found in the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast in the plant cells.


What do you call the clusters of chlorophyll molecules that capture light energy?

They are called photosystems. Photosystems are groups of chlorophyll molecules and associated proteins that work together to absorb and transfer light energy during the process of photosynthesis.


Is it true that the pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in clusters known as chlorogroups?

There is no specific term "chlorogroups" used to refer to pigment clusters in chloroplasts. Pigments in chloroplasts are arranged in groups called photosystems, with chlorophyll being the main pigment involved in photosynthesis.
