Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False. Photosystems are found on the membranes of chloroplasts
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None 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: -Photosystems are found in the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These membranes are located inside the chloroplasts of plants and algae, and in the cytoplasmic membrane of photosynthetic bacteria. There are two kinds of photosystems: PSI and PSII.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physically, photosystems are found in the thylakoid membranes. There are two kinds of photosystems: photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) (Fig. 3.3). PSII acts first during the light transformation process in photosynthesis, but it was named PSII because it was discovered second.

Detailed explanation-4: -True statement: A) Photosystems are arrangements of chlorophyll and other pigments packed into thylakoids. Prokaryotes posses one or more photosystems to convert light energy into chemical energy with the help of photosynthetic pigment molecules.
