Document Summary

When cyanobacteria got engulfed by some cell and had 2 membranes and became plant cell. They funnel energy down to one chlorophyll molecule. Light will zap chemicals and and hit one atom in the center. When light (or other energy) hits them they go to higher energy level. They don"t like this and want to go to rest position. The atom puts energy in packets (photons) and gives it off (light). Ferredoxin (fe protein with iron) can handle the high energy electrons. It"s really hot, and he tosses them off to a cytochrome guy (3 of them). By the time the 3rd guy has it. Cytochrome 3 give the cooled off electron back to photosystem i. More advanced cycle: photosystem 1 give electron to ferredoxin. The electron then continues on with calvin cycle. Ph2 same thing happens (680) and q give to cytochrome. Then ps2 needs electrons, so it grabs from nearby z.
