Document Summary

Chlorophyll: molecule of green pigment that absorbs photons of light in photosynthesis. Primary electron acceptor: a molecule that can be reduced by gaining an electron. Accessory pigments: are light absorbing pigments that assist in process of photosynthesis. Absorption spectrum: curve representing the amount of light absorbed at each wavelength. Action spectrum: graph produced by plotting the effectiveness of light at each wavelength in driving photosynthesis. Photosystem i (psi): in photosynthesis, a protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that uses energy absorbed from sunlight to synthesize nadph. Photosystem ii (psii): in photosynthesis, a protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that uses energy absorbed from sunlight to synthesize atp. P700: (photosystem i primary donor) is the reaction centre chlorophyll a molecule absorbs light best at p700 nanometers. P680: (photosystem ii primary donor) reaction centre chlorophyll b absorbs light best at. P680 and p700: reaction centers of the photosystems: numbers specify wavelength of light that reaction centre are most reactive tom maximum absorption.
