What is The function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll 'a' convert light energy directly into chemical energy...
What role does chloroplasts and chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?
the chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membrane. chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs in red and blue and reflects green, which makes plants look green. chlorophyll captures the sun's energy and is used as energy to complete thephotosynthesis process (light dependent reaction.)
What role does chlorphyll play in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis is to convert the light energy from the sun to chemical energy. When enough energy strikes chlorophyll, it looses its electrons and thus they are able to move through a transport chain. Their energy is stored in NADPH which is then transferred to glucose.
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.
What is the green pigment in chloroplast and absorbs light energy from the sun?
Chlorophyll (mainly), though there are other accessory pigments. Chlorophyll usually absorbs light mainly in the red-orange to blue-violet parts of the visible light spectrum
What are photosynthetic lamellae?
A photosynthetic antenna that contains several pigment that harvest light. The pigment includes chlorophyll a and b. Though chlorophyll a is more abundant. The harvested light istransferred to chlorophyll a where the actual conversion of light energy to chemical energy occurs.
What occurs during the light dependent?
During light dependent reactions chlorophyll and other light-aborbing molecules capture energy from sunlight.
What occurs during the light reactions?
During light dependent reactions chlorophyll and other light-aborbing molecules capture energy from sunlight.
What reaction occurs during light dependent reaction?
During light dependent reactions chlorophyll and other light-aborbing molecules capture energy from sunlight.
What molecule is used to capture light energy?
Chlorophyll captures light energy using photosynthesis. Energy is absorbed through wavelengths. It can absorb violet-blue and orange-red light energy easily.
What happens when chlorophyll breaks down to new substances?
The light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used to split water (H2O) into hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Photosynthesis occurs.
What is The function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll 'a' convert light energy directly into chemical energy...
Which membrane-bound organelle do to capture light energy?
Chlorophyll, and some other pigments, but mainly chlorophyll.
What are the special qualities of chlorophyll a?
Chlorophyll a can absorb solar energy, but only a few in the excited state of chlorophyll a can convert light energy into electricity.
Chlorophyll traps what from the sun?
light energy
What green plant pigments that traps light energy from the sun is called what?
the green pigment in plants that traps radiant energy from the sun is glucose
What wavelength does chlorophyll a absorb the most energy?
Chlorophyll a absorbs the most light (energy) in the blue- violet spectrum
