In photochemical reaction we have photons that passed to the surface starting photochemical reaction - producing some electrons.

quantum yield=produced electrons/passed photons.

What is a photosynthetic reaction in a plant cell transforming energy from sunlight into chemical energy?

Photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy in the light is converted into the chemical energy in the glucose molecules.


Why does white siver chloride turn grey in sunlight?

White silver chloride turns grey in sunlight due to a chemical reaction known as photo-reduction. When exposed to sunlight, silver chloride decomposes into silver metal and chlorine gas. This leads to the formation of gray-colored silver metal on the surface of the silver chloride.


What is the photo- part of the photosyntheses process?

The photo- part of photosynthesis refers to the light-dependent reactions that occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During this phase, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used to drive the subsequent light-independent reactions.


How is light energy converted to chemical energy?

Via photosynthesis, plants have developed unique photo-sensitive system that permit them to take the sunlight and convert it. This energy is converted into chemical energy which is stored as food inside the plant.


Is The reverse reaction of photo synthesis is called what?

metabolism - photosynthesis is the process of building food ( read amino acids) from simple molecules by capturing energy where as metabolism is the process by which cells break down these amino acids to extract the energy.

Is lighting of photo flash bulb exothermic or endothermic?

The lighting of a photo flash bulb is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of light and heat when it ignites. This process involves a chemical reaction that produces a sudden burst of light.


What is law of quantum energy and quantum mass?

In the universe energy, matter and go as per quantum. Energy is released in quantum of photon. Electron has a quantum mass. Proton has quantum mass. Both has a quantum charge. Neutron has a quantum mass. Speed of light is a quantum. Big bang is a quantum event essentially occurring at particular mass. It takes a quantum energy for shifting of electrons from one shell to other. In photo-luminescence light energy is released in quantum.


What is another name for light dependent reations of photosynthesis?

The exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy (photosynthesis). The product of light dependant reactions is called endergonic reaction. It is a chemical reaction that requires energy.

What is relation of co2 to the photo chemical reaction?

photochemical reaction, a chemical reaction initiated by the absorption of energy in the form of light. The consequence of molecules' absorbing light is the creation of transient excited states whose chemical and physical properties differ greatly from the original molecules. These new chemical species can fall apart, change to new structures, combine with each other or other molecules, or transfer electrons, hydrogen atoms, protons, or their electronic excitation energy to other molecules. Excited states are stronger acids and stronger reductants than the original ground states.
