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)


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 protein complex absorbs in energy that used to produce NADPH?

Photosystem 1


An electron transport chain connects photosystem1 and photosystem2?

They return to Photosystem I


How are photosynthesis 1 and photosynthesis 2 similar?

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.

What fills the electron hole in photsystem 1 and 2?

In photosystem 2- water(photolysis) In photosystem 1 - electron from photosystem 2


What are the products of photosystem 2 and photosystem 1?

NADPH


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


Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 take placein the organelle?

Photosystems I and II are both in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.


Which steps occur in photosystem II?

ADP takes on energy and a phosphate to produce ATP in photosystem II.


What is a role of photosystem 2 in light reactions?

Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+

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.


Which sentence best describes what happens after sunlight hits photo system 2?

After sunlight hits photosystem 2, it excites electrons within photosystem 2. These electrons are then passed down an electron transport chain to photosystem 1, where they help generate ATP through a series of redox reactions.
