What is light harvesting?
light harvesting is a set of photosynthetic pigment molecules that absorb light and channel the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur.
What is composed of a light-harvesting complex and an electron transport system?
The chloroplast
The light-harvesting complexes of photosynthesis are located?
within the thylakoid membranes. ramon C.
Antennalike energy-harvesting unit in a thylakoid?
Antenna pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, that are light harvesting antennas in the thylakoid. After the antenna pigments absorb light energy and transformed as chemical energy then transfered to the reaction center complex.
What is the main role of pigment molecules within the antenna or light harvesting complex?
The light-harvesting (or antenna) complex of plants is an array of protein and chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane which transfer light energy to one chlorophyll a molecule at the reaction center of a photosystem.
Could photosynthesis occur in a plant outside at night?
No. Unless there was another light source besides the sun;photosynthesis is a process involving light.
What is another word for photosynthesis?
There isn't another word for photosynthesis. It is the name of a process that plants process energy from light to create their own food.
Who discovered that light was needed for photosynthesis to happen?
Yvonne B Heimlich He found it out via using 3 complex experiemnts
One of the two parts of photosynthesis?
light, photo means light. Photograph - light picture (roughly) photosynthesis is synthesis of energy (glucose) from light
What in plants take in light?
Within the photosynthetic organelle called the chloroplast, there are stacks of thylakoids shaped like discs (entire stacks are known as grana). And we know that the two stages of photosynthesis, which are the Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle, take place in the chloroplast. There are photosystems embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The photosystem is composed of a protein complex called a raction-center complex surrounded by light-harvesting complexes which contain the chlorophyll pigments and carotenoids responsible for absorbing photons of various wavelengths (depending on the pigments present in the particular plant species). In essence, the chloroplasts take in light.
Is there a difference in photosynthesis rate between a plant placed in the dark vs another plant placed in the light?
nope, and yes see if you don't have the plant in the light, the plant won't have energy to start photosynthesis but when in light it does
How is light linked to photosynthesis?
if photosynthesis is to take place you need light.
