What is photosystems?

The group of proteins and pigments that transfers electrons to reaction center


Do plants have adaptations that maximise light absorbsion?

One of the main adaptions is the range of pigments that absorb the light in plants. From the standard P680 and P700 pigments ( named for the absorption spectrum, in nanometers, they pick up in ) in the two photosystems to many different pigments in the array of pigments surrounding the reaction center. These pigments absorb light outside the red and blue range and they become visible when the leaves of plants turn colors in the fall.


What are the parts of chloroplast trapping of light?

The parts involved in chloroplast trapping of light are the thylakoid membrane, where photosystems I and II are located, and the pigments such as chlorophyll within these photosystems. Light energy is absorbed by these pigments and transferred to specialized chlorophyll molecules in the reaction center, initiating the process of photosynthesis.


What are the pigments formed during the Maillard reaction are called?

You think probable to components of caramel.


In a photosystem clusters of chlorophyll a chlorophyllb and carotenoid pigments function most like what?

Clusters of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid pigments in a photosystem function most similarly to antenna complexes in capturing and transferring light energy. These pigments absorb light at different wavelengths and transfer the energy to the reaction center chlorophyll to drive the photosynthetic process.

Are photosystems 1 and 2 found in the Calvin cycle?

They are found in the light reaction. Photosystems not involved in Calvin cycle.


Antennalike energy-harvesting unit in a thylakoid?

Antenna pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, that are light harvesting antennas in the thylakoid. After the antenna pigments absorb light energy and transformed as chemical energy then transfered to the reaction center complex.


What are photosystems made of?

Photosystems are made of protein complexes and pigments, particularly chlorophyll molecules. These components work together to capture and convert light energy into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, photosystems are located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in plant cells.


What is the series of reactions that involve pigments?

The series of reactions that involve pigments is called light reaction. It is defined as the reaction of something, especially the iris of the eye, to different intensities of light.

How is light reaction of photosynthesis started?

Absorbtion of light by photosystems in cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation.


How does the light harvesting complex contribute to the process of photosynthesis in plants?

The light harvesting complex in plants helps to absorb light energy and transfer it to the reaction center of photosystems, where it is used to drive the process of photosynthesis. This complex consists of pigments that capture light energy and pass it along to the reaction center, where it is converted into chemical energy to produce glucose and oxygen.


What is the first site of photosynthesis in chloroplast?

First reaction is light reaction.It takes place in photosystems of thylacoid membrane.

What is a green substance in plants that is active in the food making process of the plants?

chlorophyll. it absorbs light and transfers light energy to the chlorophyll in the reaction center of the photosystems. that chlorophyll then undergoes a redox reaction.
