Both photosystem 2 & 1 are light-dependent.
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 begins when pigments in photosystem i absorb light.
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.
Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+
Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and require light to produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. These reactions involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy through the processes of photosystem I and photosystem II, as well as the electron transport chain. Oxygen is also produced as a byproduct of these reactions.
ATP and NADPH are produced using the energy from photons hitting photosystem 2 during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

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.
Excitation of electrons in photosystem II.
photosynthesis begins when pigments in photosystem i absorb light.
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)
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.
Photosystem I absorbs light best at a wavelength of 700 nm, while Photosystem II absorbs light best at a wavelength of 680 nm. Photosystem I transfers electrons to reduce NADP+ to NADPH, while Photosystem II replenishes electrons lost in the process of photosynthesis. Both photosystems work together in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to ultimately produce ATP and NADPH.
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.
In photosystem II, the photon of light is absorbed by a pigment molecule, which causes an electron to become excited. This electron is then passed through a series of electron carrier molecules, creating a flow of electrons used to generate ATP and NADPH during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
They return to Photosystem I
Plastocyanin is a copper-containing protein that plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by shuttling electrons between photosystem II and photosystem I in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. It helps in the transfer of electrons during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
