The photosystems are named after the wavelength for which they are the most reactive. Photosystem II is P680 which means that it has the highest reavtivity when light that is 680 nanometers (nm) hits it. Photosystem I works off the same principle; however, it is named P700 because the optimal wavelength for it is 700 nm.

Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?
This setup enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.
What organelle in plants which is directly responsible for photosynthesis is?
The chloroplasts, specifically the thylakoid membranes, which house photosystems I ans II.
Where does photosystem 2 and photosystem 1 take placein the organelle?
Photosystems I and II are both in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
What are cluster of chlorophyll called?
Photosystems Photosystems
Photosystems are found in the structure called what?
There are two photosystems, and they can be found embedded in the thylakoid membranes. They are linked by electron transport molecules.
Where are Photosystems I and II found?
Photosystems I and II are found in the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast in the plant cells.
Why are there several structurally different pigments in the reaction centers of photosystems?
This setup enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.
What are the release dates for Wavelengths - 2011 II?
Wavelengths - 2011 II was released on: USA: 25 April 2011 (SATO48 Film Competition)
What happens if the hydrogen pumps in photosystems I and II don't work correctly?
The chloroplast will not produce ATP or NADPH.
What are photosystems embedded in?
Photosystems are embedded in the
Why are Chlorophyll b and the carotenoids important as receptors of light energy?
These pigments are able to absorb more wavelengths of light (and thus more energy) than chlorophyllaalone can absorb. As part of light-harvesting complexes in photosystems, they broaden the range of light that can be used in the light reactions.

How do photosystem 1 and 2 allow the calvin cycle to work?
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)
