Photosynthesis is composed of two main parts (light-dependent and light-independent). Photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II) are alike in many ways. How does photosystem I and photosystem II differ from one another?

Answer:

D- PS I absorbs the longer wavelength of light while PS II absorbs a shorter wavelength of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

PS I absorbs the longer wavelength of light while PS II absorbs a shorter wavelength of light. Photosystem I absorbs 700 nm while photosystem II absorbs 680 nm. They both occur in the thylakoid membranes. Both systems are light-dependent reactions.

Step-by-step explanation:

PS I absorbs longer light wave length and does not deal with photolysis of water. PS II absorbs shorter light wave lengths and does deal with photolysis of water. They both send information to different primary receptors. PS I obtains electrons that flow down a electron transporter from PS II where as PS II gains electrons from water.
