estion 38 What is common to both photosystems I and II O Both involve the splitting of water to donate an electron to the reaction center O Both involve the generation of oxygen O Both lose an electron to a primary electron acceptor that passes the electron down an electron transport chain leading to the generation of ATP O Both contain a reaction center composed of chlorophyll a O Both are found in the stroma Eyecanda S
