Sunlight excites electrons in the chlorophyll during the what?
During the light reaction, sunlight excites electrons of chlorophyll P680 in Photosystem One.
Are electrons are energized twice during photosynthesis?
Yes because there are two photosystems (clusters of chlorophyll) which is where the sunlight is absorbed from, the electrons are energized at both times because sunlight contains photons which are the molecules that energize the electrons in the first place
What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?
In photosynthesis, the electrons from the chlorophyll are excited by the sunlight
What is the name of a green pigment which absorbs sunlight in a plant?
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in a plant.
What is activation of chlorophyll?
sunlight activates chlorophyll

Yes because there are two photosystems (clusters of chlorophyll) which is where the sunlight is absorbed from, the electrons are energized at both times because sunlight contains photons which are the molecules that energize the electrons in the first place
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
What happens when a photon from sunlight strikes a chlorophyll a molecule?
When a photon strikes a pigment molecule such as chlorophyll, the energy from the photon is passed to the chlorophyll. This energy then continues to pass between molecules until it hits the reaction center, where the reaction of photosynthesis' glucose creation occurs.
What is the effect of sunlight on plants?
At first, sunlight causes an increase in photosynthesis. At some point, photosynthesis stops increasing with increasing sunlight. At this point, the chlorophyll molecules are saturated. Further increases in sunlight cause a decrease in photosynthesis as chlorophyll molecules are destroyed.
When sunlight excites electrons in the chlorophyll how do the electrons changes?
As red and blue light energy is absorbed by Chlorophyll electrons in outer shell are excited & raised to a higher energy level.

What is the name of a green pigment which absorbs sunlight in a plant?
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in a plant.
What is 4 things that plants need for photosynthesis?
Light, Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Chlorophyll
When the energy of sunlight moves to a chlorophyll molecule in a reaction center how does this impact an electron?
Electrons absorb the energy. Then it becomes exited
What is activation of chlorophyll?
sunlight activates chlorophyll
