Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis contains two pigments. The photosystem I and photosystem II that absorb the light at a wavelength of 700 nanometers and 680 nanometers. The electron moves from photosystem II to I in a zigzag motion to finally produce ATP and NADPH.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements about the light reactions of photosynthesis is NOT true? Chlorophyll and other pigments absorb light energy, which excites electrons ATP is generated by photophosphorylation Electrons from water are given to the chlorophyll molecules of Photosystem! The splitting of water molecules provides a source of electrons
What is the overall outcome of the light reactions in photosynthesis?    NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions and are used to power the light independent reactions. NADPH and ATP molecules are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions. Sugar and ATP are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light independent reactions. Carbon dioxide and NADPH are produced during the light reactions, which are used to power the light dependent reactions.
Which of the following is TRUE about CAM photosynthetic pathway? Compared to the C3 and C4 pathways, CAM photosynthesis results in greater transpiration and water loss. O By separating where carbon is initially fixed inside the leaf tissue, CAM plants can better control the gradient of carbon dioxide between the air and their leaves. CAM photosynthesis is more energy efficient than C3 photosynthesis. Compared to C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways, the rate of CAM photosynthesis is limited.
