This is a speculative area! The most detailed studies and reasoning relevant to this question are perhaps those of Nathan Nelson, who has used genomic analyses of Eubacteria, Archaea, and eukaryotes to draw up a tentative evolutionary tree of photosynthetic reaction centers.
His conclusion is that photosystems I and II, or rather, reaction centers of these two types, had a common origin about 2.5 Ga (billion years ago).

It was Kodak that invented the first, ever, photosystem for every man to use. In those days you needed to buy the camera and after having taken all the shots, you simply returned the camera (intact) to Kodak. Kodak would then make prints of your photos and return it.

But I think you meant the photosystem used in photosynthesis lol
photosystem 1 was discovered first, but it does not mean that it evolved first. Photosystem 2 is actually first in the process of capturing light energy. But as you can see, the answer is mainly a mystery, just like "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Hope this helped

The thylakoid membrane contains 2 photosytems, known as Photosystem I and Photosystem II. Together, they function to absorb light and transfer energy to electrons.
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)
One way to detect the lack of photosystem II in photosynthetic organisms is to measure the rate of oxygen production during photosynthesis. Photosystem II is responsible for splitting water molecules and releasing oxygen as a byproduct, so the absence of photosystem II would result in reduced or no oxygen production. Another method is to analyze the pigment composition of the chloroplasts since photosystem II contains specific pigments like chlorophyll a and beta-carotene. If these pigments are absent or reduced, it can indicate the lack of photosystem II.
From energy in photons
Oxidized P680 receives its electrons, from water oxidization. (2H2O --> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-).
Photosystem II most likely evolved first because it provides the energy for producing ATP and passes its electrons to photosystem I.
Photosystem II is older in terms of evolutionary history compared to Photosystem I. Photosystem II is thought to have evolved before Photosystem I as it evolved to oxidize water in order to provide electrons for the electron transport chain, which Photosystem I then uses to reduce NADP+ to NADPH.
ADP takes on energy and a phosphate to produce ATP in photosystem II.
Light energy is not exactly trapped. The light energy excites the electron in the reaction centres of photosystem I and photosystem II. The electron excites and transfers to the electron transport chain ( chain of electron carriers), this produces ATP. Then the electron of photosystem II is transferred by photosystem I and the electron of the photosystem I is used with H+ and NADP to form NADPH. Photosystem II gets back an electron from photolysis of water.
They are the chlorophyll. Photosystem II reacts first

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's electron travel through the electron transport chain(etc) where ATP is produced and then back to the photosystem. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, Photosystem II electron then is absorbed by photosystem I, photosystem I electron used to form NADPH and photosystem II gets its electron from photolysis of water. For you unfortunate children using Novanet: They move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1.

Photosystem I and Photosystem II are two protein-based complexes found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. They are involved in the process of photosynthesis, capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy. Photosystem II functions first in the light reactions of photosynthesis, while Photosystem I follows to further harness light energy and produce ATP and NADPH, which are vital for the synthesis of sugars.
ATP is produced using the energy from photons hitting photosystem II through the process of photosynthesis.
