Question
Chapter 8, Problem 2DA
Summary Introduction
To analyse: The curve for photosystems if they have a greater or lesser number of chlorophyll molecules.
Introduction: Chlorophyll is the pigment molecule that captures solar energy and uses it for the process of photosynthesis. They are present in the photosystems which are embedded in the chloroplasts within the thylakoids membrane.

Indicate whether each of the following is produced during thelight-independent or light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis:O2, ATP, NADPH, and glucose.
For most plants, two distinct photosystems (Photosystem I and Photosystem II) work together in series during photosynthesis. These photosystems are complexes of proteins and pigment molecules.
Statement 1: Photosystem I has an absorption maximum of 680 nm, whereas Photosystem II has an absorption maximum of 700 nm.
Statement 2: The special pair of chlorophyll a molecules in the reaction center of photosystem I is designated as P700, whereas the special pair of chlorophyll a molecules in the reaction center of photosystem II is designated as P680.
Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true.
Both statements are true.
Both statements are false.
List the three events that occur during the process of photosynthesis. Explain the role of stomata in this process.
