In photosystem 1, the role of the reaction center chlorophyll is to absorb photons and initiate the electron transport chain. It passes excited electrons to an electron acceptor, which then moves them through a series of electron carriers to produce NADPH. This process is essential for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

What is the role of photosystem 2?
The role of photosystem II is to capture sunlight and initiate the process of photosynthesis by using light energy to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. This process replenishes electrons in the photosynthetic electron transport chain and ultimately leads to the generation of ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle.
Which sentence best describes what happens after sunlight hits photo system 2?
After sunlight hits photosystem 2, it excites electrons within photosystem 2. These electrons are then passed down an electron transport chain to photosystem 1, where they help generate ATP through a series of redox reactions.
What is the difference between photosystem one and two?
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.
What is a photosynthetic unit where solar energy is absorbed and high energy electrons are generated?
The photosynthetic unit where solar energy is absorbed and high-energy electrons are generated is called a "photosystem." Photosystems are protein complexes found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, and they play a crucial role in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
Which protein complex absorbs the energy that is used to produce NADPH?
Photosystem 1
What is a role of photosystem 2 in light reactions?
Photosystem two produces O2, ATP, and NADP+
What are the products of photosystem 2 and photosystem 1?
NADPH
What fills the electron hole in photsystem 1 and 2?
In photosystem 2- water(photolysis) In photosystem 1 - electron from photosystem 2
Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 occur?
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.
Which is a role a photosystem 2 in the light reactions?
Splitting H2o
Which photosystem is used first in photosynthesis?
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
What protein complex absorbs in energy that used to produce NADPH?
Photosystem 1
Which is a role of photosystem ii in the light reaction?
Splitting H2O (Apex)
Which role is of photosystem ii in the light reactions?
Splitting H2O (Apex)
What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem absorb lights?
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.
Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 take placein the organelle?
Photosystems I and II are both in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
Which is the role of a photosystem I in the light reactions?
To make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH
