      Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy, producing glucose and releasing oxygen as a byproduct. At the center of this process are two vital protein complexes: Photosystem 1 (PS1) and Photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 captures light energy and transfers it to a series of electron carriers, while PS2 uses light energy to initiate water oxidation, liberating electrons that power the photosynthetic reaction.
