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

The function of photosystem II is electron transfer. Photosystem II splits water molecules and transfers electrons as it's primary function.

Photosystem II is part of the electron transport chain within a cell. When light hits this photosystem, the electron is bounced to a higher energy level.

What is a role of photosystem 2 in light reactions?

Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+


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


Photosynthesis can be broken down into what?

(1) Light-dependent reactions which is where photosystem 2 and 1 and the ETC take place. (2) Light-independent reactions which is where the Calvin cycle take place.


Is photosystem 2 light dependent?

Both photosystem 2 & 1 are light-dependent.


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


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 happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem II absorbs light?

they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1


Where does the ATP and NADPH in the Calvin cycle come from?

The hydrogen for the NADP comes from water as the main role of NADP is to carry hydrogen. When the hydrogen combines with NADP, it forms NADPH+


What does the energy come from to make NADPH in the light reaction?

Photosystem 1


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

Photosystem 1


Are ATP molecules made during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?

An electron transport chain is gone through when electrons are transferred from photosystem 1 to photosystem 2. ETC pumps protons through the thykaloid. Protons are diffused out of the thykaloid and through the ATP synthase.
