How does the electron transport chain transfer light energy photosynthesis?

Light breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen, the oxygen is then released. Next the hydrogen and its electron separate so that they are H+ and e-. The electrons are dragged across which creates massive energy.

∙ 13y agoAn electron first begins photosynthesis in Photosystem II (a chlorophyll molecule also known as p680). After p680 has been excited by a photon (light particle), an electron is released into a nearby electron transfer chain where it proceeds down a series of reactions and release energy. This electron is then taken up by Photosystem I (p700) where it is returned to a higher energy level. The electron then proceeds down a second electron transfer chain to reduce the co-enzyme NADP (it becomes part of it, forming NADPH). The final destination for electrons is when the NADPH gives up its electrons and hydrogen during the Calvin Cycle to form glucose.

At each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis does an electron lose energy?
True!
Does Respiration uses sunlight as it's energy source?
No it does not. Respiration gets its energy from ATP(produced in photosynthesis when electrons travel through the electron transport chain)
What does the electron transport cycle do?
An electron transport chain couples a chemical reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) to the transfer of H+ ions across a membrane, through a set of mediating biochemical reactions. These H+ ions are used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy intermediate in living organisms, as they move back across the membrane. Electron transport chains are used for extracting energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) and from redox reactions such as the oxidation of sugars (respiration).
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
What is passed from protein to protein in the electron transport chain?
Energy is transferred to the chain of proteins in the electron transport. A electron transport chain is a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions.
At each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis an electron loses energy.?
True!
At each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis does an electron lose energy?
True!
Is it true that at each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis an electron loses energy?
Yes, it is true.
How is light energy process in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
through an electron transport chain
How is light energy processed in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
through an electron transport chain
Why are redox reaction important in some energy transfer?
Many of the energy conversions that go on in a cell involve reactions in which an electron is transferred from one substance to another. This is because the transfer of an electron also involves the transfer of the energy of that electron. Such an electron transfer is called a redox reaction. Examples are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Does Respiration uses sunlight as it's energy source?
No it does not. Respiration gets its energy from ATP(produced in photosynthesis when electrons travel through the electron transport chain)
The source of energy for the process of photosynthesis?
Electrons are used as an exchange currency during photosynthesis. The energy that provides the boost for these electrons comes from the electron transport chain.
What does a photo-system do for photosynthesis?
Photo systems utilize light to energize an electron which is then used in an electron transport chain to create high energy molecules for use in the dark reactions of photosynthesis.
Where does electron transport in photosynthesis take place?
Photosynthesis takes place in the Palisade Mesophyll and also photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast.
Electron transfer systems concentrate energy that is then used to generate ATP in?
aerobic respiration,photosynthesis and mitochondria
