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
In the thylakoid between photosystem II and photosystem I.
The thylakoid membrane contains 2 photosytems, known as Photosystem I and Photosystem II. Together, they function to absorb light and transfer energy to electrons.
Photosynthesis produces oxygen gas (O2) as a by-product. The oxygen comes from the splitting of water molecules at Photosystem II.
They are split into oxygen and hydrogen.
The role of photosynthesis II is the generation of ATP along with splitting of the water molecules. The electron transfer, is another function of photosynthesis II.
Splitting of water molecules
Light from the sun
Water participates directly in the light reactions of photosynthesis by donating electrons to photosystem II. Photosystem I and photosystem II both contain chlorophyll as molecules.

Water is split to have its electrons replace the excited electron of chlorophyll, then enters photosystem II.
Photosystem 1 has chlorophyll a molecule which absorbs maximum light of 700 nm and is called P700 whereas photosystem 2 has chlorophyll a molecule which absorbs light of 680 nm and is called P680.

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