To make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH
Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+
Photosystem II plays a role in absorbing light energy and initiating the process of photosynthesis by passing electrons through the electron transport chain. It also splits water molecules to release oxygen as a byproduct.
A photosystem is a complex of proteins and pigments, primarily chlorophyll, that facilitates the capture of light energy during photosynthesis. There are two types of photosystems: Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII), both of which are located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in plant cells. These structures play a crucial role in converting light energy into chemical energy, driving the process of photosynthesis.
Water is split to have its electrons replace the excited electron of chlorophyll, then enters photosystem II.
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.

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.

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 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.
