Document Summary

Light is most commonly defined as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can detect with their eyes. Wavelengths vary from about 400 (violet) to 700 nm (red). A common feature of all these pigments that is critical for light absorption is the presence of a conjugated system of double/single carbon bonds, which results in the delocalization of electrons. Contain a pigment-protein complex called bacteriorhodopsin, which functions as a light-driven protein pump. The pigment component captures photons of light that provide the energy supply needed to pump protons out of the cell. The resulting difference in in h+ concentration across the plasma membrane represents a source of potential energy that is used by the enzyme atp synthase to generate atp from adp and inorganic phosphate. The chemical energy in a molecule has to do with the position of electrons within its atoms.
