Document Summary
Light as information, where those photons come from conveys. Photochemistry occurring in photo receptor and reaction centre. Why there is no antenna around a photo receptor but there is an antenna around photo system. Photosystem, want to harvest as much light energy as you can, In a photo receptor, the arrangement of rods and codes is attempting to provide to mimic to harvest information. Photo system is probably made up of 50 proteins come together. Humans have 20 thousand express genes, so 20 thousand different proteins. Biochemistry is built upon the isolation of proteins from cells, purifying the protein, putting it into test tubes, and studying its structure protein turns very abundant, and how do you isolate a specific one . Genetics looking at phenotype, try to link phenotype and genotype. One type proteins, many present in one kind of cells, and none present in another: control transcription.
