As the sunlight hits the chlorophyll molecules sunlight is absorbed by a molecule of chlorophyll electrons in the molecule interact with photons of light and are raised to a higher energy level. The electrons are passed from one molecule to another in an electron transport chain producing ATP and NADPH. In case you don't know ATP is what cells mainly use for energy and NADPH is use as an electron carrier.
Light energy is transferred to the electrons in
the chlorophyll molecule, raising the energy of these
electrons. These high-energy electrons make photosynthesis
work.
100% correct answer. Got it from answer book :D. You might want to change some words though since I got it straight from answer book...Its 9th grade biology btw
What else can I help you with?
What is chlorophall?
Chlorophyll is the chemical that gives plants their green color. It is also the chemical responsible for absorbing sunlight and creating carbohydrates for the plant's nutrients from CO2 and Water.
What describes a natural event but does not explain why the event happens?
An observation.
True or false scientific laws explain why something happens?
false
What happens to earths materials when they are exposed to sunlight?
I really really really really really really really do not know
What happens if you put algae near sunlight?
Yes the sun is where algae gets its energy.
Explain what happens when sunlight hits a chlorophyll molecule how does this relate to potential ener?
nien
What happens when a chlorophyll a molecule produce light reaction?
Light reaction is not produced by chlorophyll .
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.
Contain chlorophyll and are located in the cytoplasm?
The chloroplast contains chlorophyll and is located in the cytoplasm. Photosynthesis happens because of the chloroplast and the chlorophyll captures the energy from the sunlight.
What happens to the water and sunlight during photosynthesis process?
During photosynthesis, water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons in a process known as photolysis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells and provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
What is the first most immediate thing that happens when light strikes a chlorophyll molecule?
When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
What in the leaf actually traps the sunlight to turn into useful energy?
on the leaf there is chloroplast. inside chloroplast there is chlorophyll. the chlorophyll is the green substance that takes in sunlight. then the chlorplast takes the sunlight from the chlorophyll and uses water and nutrients to make the food for the plant. this system is called photosynthesis. the process happens in the leaf with chloroplast and chlorophyll
What is the first most immediate thing that happens when light strikes chlorophyl molecule?
When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
What happens to sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by chlorophyll?
Sunlight that is not trapped by chlorophyll in the leaf is either reflected, transmitted through the leaf, or absorbed as heat. Only a small portion of sunlight wavelengths are absorbed and utilized by chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
What happens when a photon hits a chlorophyll molecule?
When a photon hits a chlorophyll molecule, it excites an electron within the molecule to a higher energy state. This energized electron is then passed along a chain of molecules in the photosystem to eventually drive the process of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
What happens when light strikes green light pigments?
The green pigment found in photosynthetic plants is called chlorophyll; it is responsible for converting sunlight.
What is the main pigment used in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is when a plant (or other type of cell) uses sunlight to make energy. The chloroplasts are the organelles that capture sunlight, and is also the thing that makes a leaf green. This happens because of the pigment of chlorophyll. (I'm in 8th grade btw) :)
