Photosystems Are Clusters Of Chlorophyll And Proteins
Photosystems Are Clusters Of Chlorophyll And Proteins - Photosystems are functional and structural units of protein complexes involved in photosynthesis that together carry out the primary photochemistry of photosynthesis: the absorption of light and the transfer of energy and electrons. Photosystems are found in the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria.
