Photo system – I:
1. The reaction centre is P700.
2. PS I is involved in both cyclic and non – cyclic.
3. Not involved in photolysis of water and evolution of oxygen.
4. It receives electrons from PS II during non – cyclic photophosphorylation.
5. Located in unstacked region granum facing chloroplast stroma.
6. Chlorophyll and Carotenoid ratio is 20 to 30 : 1.
Photo system – II:
1. Reaction centre is P680.
2. PS II participates in Non – cyclic pathway.
3. Photolysis of water and evolution of oxygen take place.
4. It receives electrons by photolysis of water.
5. Located in stacked region of thylakoid membrane facing lumen of thylakoid.
6. Chlorophyll and Carotenoid ratio is 3 to 7 : 1.
