The energy in light
light reactionthe photochemical phase of photosynthesis in which light energy is converted and stored biochemically in the form of ATP
The definition of the activation energy is exactly the same -- the thermodynamic energy barrier that the reactant must pass over to convert to products. The difference between a thermal and a photochemical reaction is only where the reactants get the energy to get over this barrier. In a thermal reaction, that energy is given by the temperature, and is carried in excited rotational modes, higher kinetic energies and if hot enough, excited vibrational states. In a photochemical reaction, the activation energy is provided by photons, usually in the form of electronic excited states, but could also be vibrational or rotational. The concept of the activation barrier is identical in both cases.
energy of a reaction will be lost in the form of heat.
The light reaction can accomplish three things. Firstly, photoexcitation, basically what occurs in this process is the electron of chlorophyll absorb specific wave lengths of light. Secondly, we have electron transport, which pumps hydrogen to create a gradient that powers the ATP synthesis. And lastly there is chemosmosis, which is the movement of protons through ATP synthase complex that drives the phosphorylation of ATP.
In an exothermic reaction heat energy is released.
Heat energy can stimulate a chemical reaction.
False, the minimum reaction energy needed for a reaction to form or take place is called the activation energy.
Exothermic reaction
added to a reaction in the form of heat.
That form of energy is gravity.It is the gravity from the moon wich attracts the water.
Endothermic.
There are two major types of smog: photochemical and industrial smog. Photochemical smog is created through a reaction by which air pollutants are struck by sunlight, and form particulate matter and tropospheric ozone. The air pollutants that are most responsible for this type of smog are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photochemical is especially a problem in areas with many cars, coal-burning power plants, and the right weather conditions. Los Angeles, CA is a city that often has to deal with photochemical smog.
