What is the main function of photosystem II in the light reaction phase of photosynthesis?
What is the main function of photosystem II in the light reaction phase of photosynthesis?
Absorption of 700 nm wavelength light
Absorption of 680 nm wavelength light
Water splitting
Formation of ATP
Solution
In photosystem II, the reaction center chlorophyll a absorbs 680 nm wavelength of red light which causes the electrons to become excited and jump into an orbit farther from the atomic nucleus.
