is a cluster of pigments, with a perticular chlorophyl in the center. The energy is absorbed and is then passed to the Hugh energy electrons, NADP will then pick up the electrons and make NADPH

How do photosystem 1 and 2 allow the calvin cycle to work?

No. Photosystems I and II are where light-dependent reactions occur, while the Calvin Cycle is where light-independent reactions occur. Photosynthesis begins with Photosystem II, then Photosystem I, then the products from there go to the Calvin Cycle. (yes photosystem II comes before photosystem I)


Which is a role of photosystem 1 in the light reactions?

to make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH Apex


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.


Photosystem 1 and photosystem 2?

Photosystem I and II are two types of reaction centers found in thylakoid membranes, which are the sites of protein synthesis located in the leaves of plants. The function of reaction centers is to convert light energy into chemical energy (photophosphorylation). Now the difference between photosystem I and photosystem II is that each is able to absorb a particular wavelength. Photosystem 2 has a maximum absorption at a wavelength of 680 nanometers. Photosystem 1 best absorbs light at a wavelength of 700 nanometers. Hope this helps!


What are the products of photosystem 1 and photosystem 2?

With the light dependent reactions the outputs (products) are oxygen, ATP, and NADPH, which carries the electrons. The oxygen is taken out and put into the environment when the NADPH (which has electrons) continues with ATP to the Calvin Cycle. Depending on how you look at it I would say that the ATP and NADPH are the most important products from the cell internally. However, we need oxygen to breathe. All three are important.

Is photosystem 2 light dependent?

Yes, photosystem 2 is a light-dependent process in photosynthesis. It absorbs photons to initiate the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where it helps generate oxygen and produce ATP and NADPH.

Does the reaction at photosystem 1 need light?

Yes, the reaction at Photosystem I (PSI) requires light to function. Light energy is absorbed by pigments within PSI, which excites electrons and initiates the process of electron transport. This energization is essential for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, a key component in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Without light, PSI cannot effectively carry out its role in converting solar energy into chemical energy.

What are the two molecular groups of photosynthesis?

The two molecular groups involved in photosynthesis are chlorophyll and carotenoids. Chlorophyll is responsible for capturing light energy and initiating the light-dependent reactions, while carotenoids help protect the plant from damage by dissipating excess light energy.


True or false an electron transport chain connects photosystem 1 and photosystem2?

False. The electron transport chain connects the two photosystems in the thylakoid membrane, but it does not directly connect photosystem 1 and photosystem 2. Instead, it shuttles electrons between the two photosystems as part of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.


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


Photosynthesis can be broken down into what?

Photosynthesis can be broken down into two main stages: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. In the Calvin cycle, these electrons are used to assimilate carbon dioxide into organic molecules like glucose.


Which protein complex absorbs the energy that is used to produce NADPH?
