What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
What happens When a photon strikes a solar cell?
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.
What is the difference between photosystem one and two?
The difference between photosystem one and two is their type of light reaction.
What is length of photon?
Photon do not exist in reality. Newton's Corpuscular Theory of light ASSUMES an imaginary particle PHOTON to explain various phenomena of light.
What is a uv photon?
UV means ultraviolet, and a photon is a particle of light.
Which photosystem is used first in photosynthesis?
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
What part of the light reaction does sunlight directly drive?
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.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem II absorbs light?
they move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1
What is photosytem I and II?
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.
Is photosystem 2 light dependent?
Both photosystem 2 & 1 are light-dependent.
Which is a role of photosystem I in the light?
To make energy-carrier molecules like NADPH
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.
What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
How can plants get engery form artificial light?
a photon is a photon is a photon
What is the difference between a photon of yellow light and a photon of violet light?
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.
First step of photosynthesis?
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 :)
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
