How are photosynthesis 1 and photosynthesis 2 similar?

Answer 1

Did you mean Photysystem I and Photosystem II. They both are overall identical except that Photosystem I is actually a later part of the process of Photosynthesis than Photosystem II, its only called Photosystem I because it was discovered first. Photosynthesis starts when light excites Photosystem II causing it to break up H20 that comes from the roots into H2 and 02. (If you are wondering why oxygen becomes two molecules when in H20 there is only one molecule of it, that is because it cannot exist as one molecule stably therefore it bonds with another oxygen from another break down almost instantly.) Then Photosystem II sends electrons across the electron transport pathway (along the membrane of the Thylakoid in between the two photosystems) to Photosystem I which then uses them to convert NaDP+ into NaDPH by adding a phosphate group from outside the Thylakoid. Thats pretty much what each Photosystem does and both are located inside the Thylakoid membrane.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis 1 and Photosynthesis 2 represent different phases of the same process. Both involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. They both occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
