In which of the following ways is photosystem I different than photosystem II?

A. Photosystem I uses the high-energy electrons to reduce NADP to NADPH, whereas photosystem II uses them to produce ADP into ATP.
B. Photosystem II contains a pigment complex to trap energy, whereas photosystem I does not.
C. Photosystem II captures solar energy, whereas photosystem I does not.

Answer (2)

Photosystem I differs from Photosystem II primarily in that it reduces NADP+ to NADPH using high-energy electrons, while Photosystem II converts ADP into ATP. Also, Photosystem II captures solar energy with a pigment complex, which Photosystem I does as well but with a different focus. Thus, both systems have distinct roles in the photosynthetic process. ;
