What Does PSII Stand For?
PSII stands for Photosystem II
Photosystem II (PSII) is a protein-pigment complex located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, playing a critical role in the process of photosynthesis. It captures light energy to drive the photolysis of water, facilitating the release of oxygen and the transfer of electrons to the electron transport chain. PSII is essential for converting light energy into chemical energy, ultimately supporting the synthesis of organic compounds in plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
