The role of photosynthesis II is the generation of ATP along with splitting of the water molecules. The electron transfer, is another function of photosynthesis II.

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 happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem II absorbs light?

they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1


What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem absorb lights?

Photosystem's electron travel through the electron transport chain(etc) where ATP is produced and then back to the photosystem. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, Photosystem II electron then is absorbed by photosystem I, photosystem I electron used to form NADPH and photosystem II gets its electron from photolysis of water. For you unfortunate children using Novanet: They move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1.


What happens when an excited electron is passed to an electron acceptor in a photosystem?

When an excited electron is passed to an electron acceptor in a photosystem, energy in sunlight is transformed to chemical energy.


What happens after photosynthesis?

- ATP is the end result after Photosystem II. - NADPH is the end result for Photosystem I. They are sources of energy & they use sugars for energy storage/transport.


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

Photosystem 1


After sunlight hits photosystem 2 which is the best description of what happens?

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


Which happens last in the process of photosynthesis?

Photosystem I or the p700 complex is used last in photosynthesis.

NADPH


What fills the electron hole in photsystem 1 and 2?

In photosystem 2- water(photolysis) In photosystem 1 - electron from photosystem 2
