| What molecule absorbs light energy in photosynthesis? | Chlorophyll
🗑
|

| In what structure is the light-absorbing molecule found? | Chloroplast
🗑
|
||||
| When a pigment absorbs light energy, what happens that allows it to initiate a series of energy-yielding reactions? | When a chloroplast gets excited by light can donate electron energy to a non excited chloroplast
🗑
|
||||
| What happens in Photosystem 2? | light is harvested, energy can be donated from one chloroplast to another, p680 transfers excited electrons to start electron transport, in order for p680 to function again it needs to get its 2 electrons back- get those by the splitting of water
