Ans.

Plants use the photosynthesis reaction to make their food.
They use energy of light from light dependent reactions to produce two key ingrediants necessary for next stage of photosynthesis ; ATP and NADPH.
In plants, choloroplast (the thylakoid membrane of organelles) is the site of this light reaction.
Photosystems, which are made up of proteins and pigments (light absorbing molecules) complexes, are suitable to harvest light and are important in light reactions.
Two types of photosystems are mainly found - photosystem 1 and photosystem 2.
Many pigments are found in these photosystems which capture light energy, as are found a special pair of chlorophyll molecules.
P700 is the special pair of photosystem 1 where as special pair of photosystem 2 is known as P680.
Captured energy flows from P680 (photosystem 2) to P700 (photosystem 1).
Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are photosynthetic pigments found in chloroplast and help pass energy inside to the main reaction centre.
Flow of energy occurs from chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b.
This transfer of energy from chlorophyll molecules pave the way for the electron to rech electron transport chain (ETC).
