Document Summary

Concept of photosynthesis is taking co2 from the atmosphere and converting it to sugar. 3 membrane system: outer, inner and thylakoid membranes. Co2 reduced to organic molecules using photon energy. Co2 is reduced to fructose, sucrose and glucose. High energy electrons are stored comes from sunlight. Energy from sunlight is stored as energy through sugar and mitochondria. Plants are green because they absorb green light. Resonance structure that is very good at absorbing light. Subtle changes will alter a little bit the spectrum of light that is. Move an electron to a higher energy orbital = colors. Returns back to original orbital and releases heat. Photon of light and the energy in it. Energy can be transferred from chlorophyll to chlorophyll, you don"t have to re-emit another wave of light. In other process, a pigment can be oxidized. High energy electron can be transferred down chain. Single reaction center that has a special pair of chlorophyll.
