They are replaced by electrons donated from water molecules which were split by enzymes in the thylakoids inside chloroplasts.

Chlorophyll's replacement electron is donated by the water molecule.

Photolysis splits H2O to provide an electron for chlorophyll in the reaction center and to provide hydrogen ions to drive ATP production. This reaction is in the PSII noncyclic photosynthetic reaction only.

When NADPH leaves the chlorophyll, it's replaced by NADP+ from the stroma.

And as Oxygen leaves, more water molecules enter to make more protons.

What pigment traps the energy for photosynthesis?

There is a wide range of pigments that are used for photosynthesis. However, chlorophyll is responsible for using obtained light energy to excite electrons to move through the transport chain. Many pigments are only capable of transferring energy to chlorophyll, but they are important because they increase the spectrum of the frequencies of light of which the organism can use to photosynthesize. These pigments are called accessory pigments. For a more detailed explanation of these pigments, view the attached link below.


Is the beginning of photosynthesis pigments in photosystem absorb light?

Yes, that is correct. The light energy excites electrons in photosystems and these electrons enter the electron transport chain to make ATP. These electrons eventually end up in NADPH and photosystems are replenished with electrons obtained from splitting water.


Which group of organic molecules makes up enzymes?

Proteins. Answer obtained from biology class.


Is energy needed for photosynthesis take place?

Yes energy is needed for photosynthesis and plants use light energy which they get from solar radiation.


How many ATP (net) are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?

Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.
