What happens to the electron molecules when chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy?

Answer 1

they are transferred to an electron carrier

Answer 2

they'll emit a photon of light which makes the molecule appear green.

Answer 3

They enter the photosynthetic electron transport chain where their energy is used in a series of redox reactions to pump protons across the thylakoid membrane. The proton gradient is then used by ATP synthase to generate ATP. The lower-energy electrons at the end are passed onto NADP+ to produce NADPH.

Answer 4

When chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy, the electrons in the chlorophyll molecules become excited and move to a higher energy state. These energized electrons then enter into a series of reactions in the photosynthetic process, ultimately leading to the production of ATP and NADPH, which are used to drive the synthesis of sugars.

Answer 5

they are transferred to an electron carrier

Answer 6

They are used in the electron transport chain and help power ATP synthase.

Answer 7

they'll emit a photon of light which makes the molecule appear green.

Answer 8

The electron molecules lose their bond strength due to the rise in temperature. The light energy is absorbed and dissipated as heat energy.
