Stages of photosynthesis. When chlorophyll a absorbs light energy, an electron gains energy and is 'excited'. The excited electron is transferred to another molecule (called a primary electron acceptor). The chlorophyll molecule is oxidized (loss of electron) and has a positive charge.
31 paź 2016 · The process of photosynthesis in plants is based on two reactions that are carried out by separate parts of the chloroplast. The light reactions occur in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane...
PHOTOSYNTHESIS: • converts light energy to the chemical energy of food 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy C6H12O6 + 6O2. Happens in all green parts of plants but leaves = major site ~ about half a million chloroplasts/mm2 of leaf surface. Color of leaf due to green pigment chlorophyll.

27 sie 2022 · Photosynthesis is one of the most incomparable and meticulous metabolic processes that maximize the use of available light, carbon and nitrogen and minimizes the destructive effects...
Objectives. After this chapter, you should be able to: Explain the concepts of oxidation and reduction. Explain how light energy generates an electrochemical gradient. Explain how an electrochemical gradient generates chemical energy. Explain how chemical energy is harnessed to fix carbon dioxide.
The Light-Dependent Reactions: Generating ATP and NADPH. Photosynthesis begins with these reactions, which occur in thylakoid membranes. Photosystems are clusters of proteins and chlorophyll in thylakoid membranes. High-energy electrons form when pigments in photosystem II absorb light.
