They come from Photosystem ll. Photosystem ll gets them by ripping the electrons off of water by a process called photolysis. Electrons gain energy first in Photosystem ll, then later in photosystem l, through the absorption of energy from light.

The photosynthetic unit where this occurs is the photosystem. Photosystems I and II are responsible for absorbing solar energy and generating high-energy electrons through the process of photosynthesis. These electrons are then used to power the production of ATP and NADPH, key molecules for further energy conversion in the plant cell.

From energy in photons
In photosystem I, electrons get their energy from the absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules. When light is absorbed, it excites the electrons in the chlorophyll, allowing them to move through a series of electron carriers in the photosystem to generate energy for the production of ATP and NADPH during photosynthesis.
From energy in photons
Electrons in photosystem II get their energy from sunlight. When photons from sunlight are absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules in the photosystem, the energy is transferred to electrons, allowing them to become excited and drive the process of photosynthesis.
They absorb photons.

The thylakoid membrane contains 2 photosytems, known as Photosystem I and Photosystem II. Together, they function to absorb light and transfer energy to electrons.
they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1
Photosystem 1
Photosystem II most likely evolved first because it provides the energy for producing ATP and passes its electrons to photosystem I.
