Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where are photosystems I and II found?
A
in the stroma
B
in the thylakoid membrane
C
in the calvin cycle
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosystem I (PS I) and II (PS II) are found in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. The photosystems are responsible for carrying out photochemical phase or light reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants have a chloroplast with thylakoid membranes-which consists of photosystems I (PSI) and II (PSII)-that are connected by the cytochrome b6f complex.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosystem I (PSI) is a multisubunit protein complex located in the thylakoid membranes of green plants and algae, where it initiates one of the first steps of solar energy conversion by light-driven electron transport.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosystem II (or water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase) is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
