What kind of light absorbs chlorophyll a?
Absorbs red light. P700, 662nm
What are chlorophylls?
Organic compounds which allows plant to gain energy from light
What kind of light does chlorophyll b absorbs?

What absorbs the chlorophyll if the spectrum area do not absorb them?
Accessory pigments
What are photosystems?
Are clusters of light absorbing pigments
What does each photosystem contains?
About 200 molecules of chlorophyll and 50 caratenoids( accessory pigments)
What is called the pigment cluster?
Light harvesting antenna
What are photosystems distributed along?
Thylakoids membrane( integral proteins)
What is chlorophyll a included?
In the cluster
What does it call all the chlorophylls and caratenoids together?
Antennae complexes

Carbon dioxide fixation
G3P synthesis
RuBP regeneration
Where does the hill reaction take place?
Thylakoid membrane
Where does it produce NADPH?
NADP reductase
