Photosystems are the protein molecules that are optimized to harvest light. There are two types of photosystems: photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII).

PSI is called P700 and PSII is called P680. It is called P700 because it absorbs the light at around 700 nm wavelength. P680 because it absorbs the light at around 680 nm wavelength.

In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, the photons of light is first transferred to P680, boosting an electron to a high energy level. The high-energy electron is passed to an acceptor molecule and replaced with an electron from water. This splitting of water releases the O2 we breathe.

In cyclic photophosphorylation, the light of wavelength 700 nm is absorbed by P700 and the electrons are the passes to the acceptor molecule by several carriers.

Answer:

Hey,

So what you would do here is first choose a biome, such as the desert for example, then choose an organism that lives there, or an animal. Then think of what it is like where it lives, is it dry, cold, windy, and so force, just describing the place by its looks and climate. How would this population increase, maybe it would be if there was suddenly more food there for them, or if their ecosystem got better for them to live, then, if they populated more, how would that affect the ecosystem. Maybe some animals would die off more, or some would have to much food. Like what if the fly population suddenly doubled, for example, how would that affect the ecosystem? Now what would happen if that organism was removed? If flies were removed, spiders and a lot of other organisms would not have food, and some organisms would overpopulate because nothing would eat them. That is just an example.

I hope this helps, sorry if not. Have a great day!
