What is photoactivation of chlorophyll?

The initial stage of [[photosynthesis in [[chlorophyll Molecules where the presence of [[light Energy raises the energy. It is the first event int he first phase of photosynthesis which is light-dependent reactions.it happens at the thykaloid. Chlorophyll molecules capture light energy and becomes energized electrons(e-).


What are some examples of chlorophyll?

Some examples of chlorophyll are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll c1, and chlorophyll c2. These are the most common types of chlorophyll found in plants and algae. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis.


What are the different types of chlorophyll What is chlorophyll a and b?

the chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B


What type of chlorophyll does a reaction contain?

chlorophyll a Chlorophyll A


What is two type of chlorophyll?

There is chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.


What are 5 minerals found in plants?

Iron: important for the formation of chlorophyll and enzyme functions. Calcium: helps with cell wall structure and signaling pathways. Magnesium: critical for photosynthesis and enzyme activation. Phosphorus: essential for energy transfer and DNA/RNA synthesis. Potassium: involved in osmoregulation, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis.


What functional group is different in the identical pigments of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b?

The functional group that differs between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b is the aldehyde group on chlorophyll b, which replaces the methyl group on chlorophyll a at the C7 position of the chlorophyll molecules.


What is the difference in the different types of chlorophyll?

There are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. in chlorophyll a there is more energy required than in chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a have an absorption peak at 700 nm in contrast to the 680nm of chlorophyll b. chlorophyll a creates a more greener pigment whereas the chlorophyll b has a more yellow appearance of leaves in the fall. there are also other pigments like carotenes which produce the red in autumn.


What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?

An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.


Which is more polar- chlorophyll a or b?

Chlorophyll a is more polar than chlorophyll b due to the presence of a methyl group in chlorophyll b that increases its overall hydrophobicity, making it less polar compared to chlorophyll a. Consequently, chlorophyll a has a higher affinity for polar solvents and is the primary photosynthetic pigment in plants.


What is the primary pigment in photosynthesis?

The primary photosynthetic pigment that is found in plants is Chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll A is responsible for giving the plants a green appearance.


What roll does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis and where is chlorophyll found?

Chlorophyll is found inside the leaves. Chlorophyll captures the sun's rays and converts them to food.
