There are 2, the second one comes first. Chlorophyll absorbs every wavelength except for green. Has a head and a tail structure. Long hydrocarbon tail to anchor in the thylakoid membrane. Photosystem ii absorbs light energy and is oxidized. The energy released by the redox reaction also powers the proton pump function of the cytochrome complex. Photosystem ii electron reduces plastoquinone, a lipid soluble molecule that can move in the membrane cytochrome b6f passes its electron to plastocyanin, a water soluble molecule. Photosystem i absorbs more light then transfers electron to ferredoxin then to nadp+
