|---|---|
| What are the 2 types photosystems? | Photosystem 1 = P700. Photosystem 2 = P680 |
| Describe photosystem 1. | P700, second in photosynthesis. |
| Describe photosystem 2. | P680, first in photosynthesis. |
| What 3 things are in a photosystem? | antenna pigments, chlorophyll molecule, and proteins. |
| AKA: light ray. | photon, radiant energy from the sun. |
| How do photons get from sun to reaction centers? | photon is absorbed by antenna pigment, energy transferred from pigment to pigment until reaches reaction center. |
| What happens in the reaction center? | photon energy excites chlorophyll A, electrons jump to a higher energy level and get captured by primary electron acceptors. |
| What catches the excited electrons in the reaction center? | primary electron acceptor. |
| WHERE are photosystems in plants? | thylakoid membranes |
