Summary Introduction
Introduction: The structural and functional units of the protein complexes that are involved in the photosynthesis are termed as photosystem. It is present in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. In plants, there are two types of photosystems are present namely photosystem I and photosystem II. The center core of the photosystems is involved in the transfer of electrons that mediates the photosynthetic reaction.
