Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way in which a pigment molecule will release the energy of an absorbed photon.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis produces organic compounds in plants by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. This complex process involves a series of steps. The pigments present in this process play a considerable role in the transfer of energy. Light is mainly absorbed by these pigments. The light particles are known as photons.
