What else can I help you with?
What specialized pigment molecule found at the center of every photosystem unit is absolutely essential to photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll A :)
What compound is found at the reaction center of a photo system?
Chlorophyll is the compound found at the reaction center of a photosystem in plants and other photosynthetic organisms. It is responsible for absorbing light energy and initiating the process of photosynthesis.
Which components are directly associated with Photosystem I?
The components directly associated with Photosystem I are chlorophyll a, P700 reaction center, and ferredoxin.
Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 occur?
Photosystem 2 is located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts, while Photosystem 1 is located downstream from Photosystem 2 in the thylakoid membrane. Both photosystems are important for light-dependent reactions during photosynthesis.
What does a phtosystem contain?
Photosystem is composed of pigments, reaction center and electron acceptor
What are pigments and where are they found in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll pigment found in photosystem 2 and 1 of the thylakoids
What happens when a photon of light hits photosystem 2?
When a photon of light hits photosystem 2, it excites an electron within the reaction center of the photosystem. This electron is then transferred along an electron transport chain, resulting in the generation of ATP and the splitting of water molecules to release oxygen as a byproduct.
What is the cluster of light harvesting complexes in a thylakoid?
The cluster of light harvesting complexes in a thylakoid is called a photosystem. It consists of chlorophyll molecules and other pigments that absorb light energy and transfer it to reaction centers where photosynthesis takes place. Photosystem I and Photosystem II are the two main types found in the thylakoid membrane.
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.
Energy is pass around chlorophyll molecules until it reaches a specific chlorophyll molecule called?
Chlorophyll is arranged in clusters called photosystem. It is like a upside down cone. It is made from secondary chlorophyll pigments surrounding a reaction center(primary pigment) at the tip of the cone. The secondary pigments absorb the light energy and pass it to the reaction center.
What are the products of photosystem 2 and photosystem 1?
NADPH
What is the function of reaction center in photosystem?
The reaction center in photosystem absorbs light energy and initiates the conversion of light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. It contains specialized pigments that are able to undergo photochemical reactions, leading to the generation of high-energy electrons that drive the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane.
