The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the two photochemical complexes involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the Light Reactions The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. ### Step 2: Identify the Key Components In the light reactions, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy. These pigments are organized into complexes that facilitate the process of photosynthesis. ### Step 3: Recognize the Two Photochemical Complexes The two main photochemical complexes involved in the light reactions are: - **Photosystem I (PSI)** - **Photosystem II (PSII)** ### Step 4: Mention the Role of Light Harvesting Complex In addition to PSI and PSII, there is also a Light Harvesting Complex (LHC) that contains various pigments. The LHC captures light energy and transfers it to the reaction centers of PSI and PSII. ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the two photochemical complexes in the light reactions are Photosystem I and Photosystem II. ### Final Answer The correct answer is: **Photosystem I and Photosystem II**. ---
