Document Summary

Doesn"t occur in all organism but directly impacts all. Carbon dioxide, water, and light convert into oxygen, carbohydrate (glucose), water. Convert 2 low energy molecules into a high energy molecule. Two stage process: capture light energy in chemical energy (light reactions, use the chemical energy to convert co2 into glucose (dark reactions) (calvin cycle) Two out membranes and inside chloroplast thylakoid (dis of membrane) and stack is a granum. Energy from calvin cycle comes from the light reactions. A collection of several hundred pigment molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane. Special versions of chlorophyll a (p700 or p680) numbers refer to wavelength of light. Light absorbed by pigment molecule gets passed until it reaches a reaction center. That energy can be used to energize electrons and create a pair of high energy electrons that are accepted by primary electron receptor. The photosystem has begun to capture the energy of light at this point.
