Energy transfer involved in photosynthesis?

A theoretical model is presented to account for the physical mechanism of energy transfer from antenna molecules to the reaction centers in photosynthesis. The energy transfer is described by a generalized transport equation or "master equation". The solution of this equation for the proposed model gives a relationship between the antennae interaction energy and the transfer rate. The results are shown to be in agreement with inter-antenna transfer rates calculated from experimental fluorescence lifetimes. Previous theories were based either on the Förster mechanism, which is valid for very small interaction energies, or an exciton model valid for very large interactions, but experimental results seemed to indicate that the actual situation was intermediate between these two. The Förster theory and the exciton model are limiting cases of the master equation.

What does chloroplast use?

Chloroplast uses sun light and Co2 to create photosynthesis. The energy transfer is Co2 --> Oxygen + H2o --> sun energy.


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
