Photosystem


Photosystems are made of several protein subunits, as well as hundreds of cofactors, and act as large complex.

Photosystem
(Redirected from Photosystem II)
In the process of photosynthesis, light is absorbed by a photosystem (ancient Greek: phos = light and systema = assembly) to begin an energy-producing reaction.

Photosystem I evolved very early; photosystem II evolved later.

Photosystems are arrangements of chlorophyll and other pigments packed into thylakoids. Many Prokaryotes have only one photosystem, Photosystem II (so numbered because, while it was most likely the first to evolve, it was the second one discovered).

photosystem: the site within the chloroplast in which sunlight is captured; includes the pigment molecules, proton pumps, enzymes, coenzymes, and cytochromes.
phototropism: the bending and turning of the plant stem toward a light source.

photosystem I The second part of the Z-scheme in which a chlorophyll a molecule absorbs most effectively at 700 nm.
photosystem II The first part of the Z-scheme in which the chlorophyll a molecule absorbs most effectively at 680 nm.

After the advent of photosystem II, oxygen levels increased. Dissolved oxygen in the oceans increased as well as atmospheric oxygen. This is sometimes called the oxygen holocaust.
