Photosystem II is a complex of larger molecules arranged in a protein structure. It includes beta-carotene, chlorophyll, a manganese-calcium-oxygen cluster and a supporting protein stabilizer, which looks like a woven tube, in aqua-green in this illustration. Breathable oxygen, or O2, is produced in the bottom center, at the cluster, which would be at the top of the tubular stabilizing weave. Credit: Curtis Neveu via Wiki Commons sharing license
