When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
When a photon strikes a solar cell it bounces off. In Physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic interaction and the basic unit of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
The difference between photosystem one and two is their type of light reaction.
Photon do not exist in reality. Newton's Corpuscular Theory of light ASSUMES an imaginary particle PHOTON to explain various phenomena of light.
UV means ultraviolet, and a photon is a particle of light.
Photosystem 2 happens in photosynthesis before photosystem 1. However they are numbered in order of how they were discovered. Photosystem 1 was discovered before photosystem 2. In photosynthesis the order of them is 2 then 1. meaning that photosystem 1 was discovered 1st but photosystem 2 happens 1st in photosynthesis
The excitation of the pigment chlorophyll bu a photon of light so that a electron is excited to a higher energy state and enters the photosystem II.
they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1
Photosystem I and Photosystem II are two protein-based complexes found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. They are involved in the process of photosynthesis, capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy. Photosystem II functions first in the light reactions of photosynthesis, while Photosystem I follows to further harness light energy and produce ATP and NADPH, which are vital for the synthesis of sugars.
Both photosystem 2 & 1 are light-dependent.
To make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH
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.
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
a photon is a photon is a photon
A photon of yellow light has lower frequency that a photon of violet light. Remember that light can be considered both as particles (photons) and as waves. So when saying a photon has higher frequencie, its actually the wave part of the light that has a higher frequency.
The light-dependent stage. This is where light is absorbed by chlorophyll - the green pigment in plants- and water is split into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Energy is used to make ATP -Adenosine Tri-Phosphate- from ADP - Adenosine Di-Phosphate- which is called Photophosphorylation. Hydrogen combines with a hydrogen acceptor and Oxygen is released from the leaf. - Hope this helped :)
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
