When a pigment molecule absorbs a photon one of its electrons?
the outer electrons which are weakly attracte towards nucleus of a pigment can absorb a photon and gets exited to its unstable higher levels. It releases more energy when it gets stabilized to its normal state. This energy can be trapped by the electron of next pigment molecules. In this way the energy gets transfered from one to other.
What happens in photopigments when they absorb photon energy?
Photosystem's electron travel through the electron transport chain(etc) where ATP is produced and then back to the photosystem. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, Photosystem II electron then is absorbed by photosystem I, photosystem I electron used to form NADPH and photosystem II gets its electron from photolysis of water. For you unfortunate children using Novanet: They move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1.
Which subatomic particle is most easily lost from an atom?
The photon probably may be the answer. Every time an electron of an atom gets "excited" after gaining energy, it emits a photon to reach, or rather obtain the ground state(energy levels)
Why is Oscillatoria green?
Oscillatoria is green because it contains the pigment chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green color in most plants and algae. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to facilitate the process of photosynthesis, where energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for the organism to use.
When sunlight excites electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, the process of photosynthesis, or the transfer of light into sugar, begins. Chlorophyll is a green liquid inside one part of a plant cell: the chloroplast. When light hits the chlorophyll molecule, it becomes excited. This energy passes through other chlorophyll molecules, and into the reaction center of Photosystem II: this is the location of the first stage of photosynthesis, and the electron transport chain. For each photon of light that enters and excites a chlorophyll molecule, one electron is released from the reaction center of Photosystem II. When two electrons are released, they are transferred to Plastoquinone Qb, a mobile carrier, which picks up two protons and starts moving towards the Cytochrome b6f complex. Cytochrome b6f, like Photosystem II, is a complex where photosynthesis processes occur.
Why is cloroplast green?
Chloroplasts are green because they contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs blue and red light for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll reflects green light, giving chloroplasts their green color. This is why plants appear green to us.
What particle gains energy gets excited?
An electron gains energy and becomes excited when it absorbs energy from photons or collides with other particles at high speeds. This excitation can result in the electron moving to a higher energy level within an atom or molecule.
How does plants absorb solar energy?
Photosystem II takes 680 nm red light and as it absorbs it, particles of different colors resonate and energize chlorophyll a which then retron by being excited. After, the electron gets joined by another one and H+ ions are following along while they get transported through electron trsnaport proteins such as Pq, PC and then go through cytochrome b6f. Then, the sunlight hits Photosystem I at 700 nm red light and the electrons get transferred to the Fq, then it goes through NADP synthase, creating NADPH+ H+. After that, the concentration of H+ ions are excessive in the thylakoid membrane, so ATP synthase shoots out some H+ into the stroma.
How does leaf gets its color?
from chlorophyll
What does it mean person get to excited?
When a person gets excited it means they are enthusiastic and eager.
What compound in plants makes photosynthesis possible?
Chlorophyll is the compound in plants that makes photosynthesis possible. It has a unique structure that allows it to lose electrons easily when it gets excited by energy. This is where the conversion from light energy to chemical energy begins.
What is the woman's secretion called when she gets excited?
The secretion released when a woman gets excited is called vaginal lubrication, which helps to facilitate sexual intercourse.
