What is the substance in chloroplast which absorbs light?
Chlorophyll is the primary molecule. Photosynthetic organisms also rely on other accessory pigments to absorb photons that chlorophyll can not. Carotenoids and phycobilins are common examples. There are many others that can contribute in various organisms.
What does the chloroplast do in the plant cell?
accepts photons from the sun. uses the quantanized energy to produce ATP. So basically, it feeds the plant.
Which subatomic particle of the atom in a molecule interacts with photons?
Almost all atomic interaction with photons occurs with the atom's electrons.
What molecule found in the chloroplasts of plant cell traps photons of light?
The chlorophyll absorbs the light from the sun and transfers them to chlorophyll pair. This is the energy that is used to start food production.
What happens when light hits a pigment?
When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light, Photons strike the "antenna" of the chlorophyll molecule. This causes electrons in the photo-reaction centers that are attached to the antennas to become excited and move to a higher energy level. That's photoexcitation. The valence electrons in Magnesium (part of the chlorophyl molecule) jump to an excited state.

What is photo luminescence?
it is not photo luminescence it is photoluminescence.Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is a process in which a substance absorbs photons (electromagnetic radiation) and then re-radiates photons.

accepts photons from the sun. uses the quantanized energy to produce ATP. So basically, it feeds the plant.
What absorbs photons?
Matter absorbs photons. Electrons in quantized harmonized orbits of the same energy level as the photon absorp it.
Does photons can be converted to molecule?
No, they don't can.
A pigment that absorbs primarily red and blue photons of light for photosynthesis?
chlorophyll
Which subatomic particle of the atom in a molecule interacts with photons?
Almost all atomic interaction with photons occurs with the atom's electrons.
What substance has the most fast moving particles?
Photons
How does chloroplast helps photosynethese?
Chloroplasts, only found in plant cells, convert light from the sun, or photons, into ATP.
Why does quinine glow when placed under black light?
A substance such as quinine glows because when absorbed light photons release photons of another wavelength. When the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range and the triggered emission is in the visible spectrum, a substance will glow under black light.
What is the purpose of a photdiode?
A photodiode absorbs sunlight (photons) and converts it to a current (flow of electrons) or a voltage (separation of electrons)
What cell structures are needed for photosyntheis?
Chloroplast, which contains the chlorophyll needed to use the photons of light to produce the glucose molecules for the plants
