Document Summary
Photochemistry in rods and cones of our eye. Photochemistry occurring in photoreceptor or in reaction centre. If you"re a photosystem, if your chlaymy and your photosynthetic, you simply want to harvest as much light as you can. In a photoreceptor, the arrangement of rods and cones is attempting to provide a mimic to harvest light as info; where those photons come from conveys info. Photosynthetic systems don"t care about information; they care about light harvesting. Photosystem made up of 50 proteins that come together; proteins are very important. Know that biological function is linked to proteins; proteins are the enzymes, and carry out most of the functional aspects of a cell. Lipids= structure; carb= structure, energy source; but proteins are the important ones. Field of biochemistry was build around the isolation of proteins from cells purifying the protein, putting it into a test tube and studying its structure which is difficult to isolate a specific protein.
