Solution

The light-capturing unit in a chloroplast’s thylakoid membrane that has two molecules of P700 chlorophyll a at its reaction center is known as a photosystem. More specifically, it is referred to as Photosystem I. The name P700 comes from the fact that this photosystem most effectively absorbs light of wavelength 700 nm.
