Document Summary

A membrane bound organelle that is formed from three membranes that define three distinct compartments. Thylakoid membranes form flattened, closed sacs; the space enclosed by a thylakoid is called the thylakoid lumen thylakoid lumen. Embedded w/in are the components that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis: proteins, pigments, electron transfer carriers, & atp synthase. A photon of light contains a fixed amount of energy that is inversely related to its wavelength: the shorter the wavelength, the greater the amount of photons of that wavelength contain. A single photon of light excites only a single electron w/in a pigment molecule, raising it from the ground state to an excited state. A photon of light can only excite an electron when the energy of the photon matches the amount of energy required to raise the electron from the ground state to an excited state. After a pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light, one of the three possible events can occur:
