Does the carotenoids pigment help in the process of photosynthesis?

Yes, carotenoids pigments help in the process of photosynthesis, as accessory pigment molecules. They trap solar energy and transmit this trapped energy to the reaction centre molecule, that is, chlorophyll.


What part of DNA is found at the centre of the molecule?

phosphate molecule


Electrons within certain chlorophyll molecules are elevated to a higher energy level when sunlight strikes a?

This elevation of electrons to a higher energy level in chlorophyll molecules is called excitation. It occurs during the process of photosynthesis, where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules in plant cells to convert light energy into chemical energy. The excited electrons help drive the production of energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADPH, which are used to fuel the plant's growth and metabolism.


How is water used during light reactions?

Water is used as a H+ donor.A water molecule is broken using light energy.and electrons released are donated to oxidized reaction centre.


What is the name of the green substance found in leaves?

The green substance in the leaves of plants is a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an essential pigment by virtue of which plants are able to carry out photosynthesis. Chlorophyll pigment traps solar energy and converts it into chemical energy. There are many types of chlorophylls. The most important chlorophyll is chlorophyll a, which is the reaction centre of a photosystem.


How chlorophyll traps sunlight and converts it to chemical energy?

First of all, chloroplasts are what convert the sun into ATP, which is the basic universal form of energy.Chloroplasts are able to capture solar energy to perform photosynthesis, the reduction of carbon dioxide to simple carbohydrates.They contain chlorophyll to allow photosynthesis to occur.Light absorbed by Chlorophyll excites the electrons. Different wavelengths of light excite the electrons by different amounts. The energy in the 'excited electrons' can be passed from one chlorophyll molecule to another, but in the end it will just be lost as fluorescence (ie the energy will be re-emitted as light), unless the excited electron itself can be ejected from the chlorophyll molecule.This process of electron ejection takes place only in chlorophyll molecules which are specifically held in a special protein complex called a reaction centre. There are two different sorts of reaction centres in plants. In each of these reaction centres, the ejected electron is transferred to an acceptor molecule, which can then pass it on to a different molecule and eventually the electron(s) can be used to fix carbon dioxide. However, you can't keep on ejecting electrons from these special chlorophyll molecules, electrons must be fed back in to replace those ejected. These electrons come from water, resulting in oxygen being evolved. So, basically, solar energy excites electrons which bind molecules into useable substances. (ie ATP) Hope this helped =)

Why is the doncaster frenchgate center called the frenchgate center?

no, but before it was called the frenchgate centre it was called the Arnold centre


What is meant by the methane molecule has tetrahedral geometry?

It means that the 4 hydrogen atoms of a methane molecule are at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at its centre.
