Photosystems Flashcards
1
Q
Photosystem
A
a collection of light absorbing pigments and proteins
2
Q
Thalakoid membrane system
A
embedded photosystems
3
Q
Reaction Center
A
At the center of each photosystem, Location of Chlorophyll molecule
4
Q
Electron transfer chain
A
Electrons get transferred from chlorophyll to chain after reaching high energy levels by light energy
5
Q
3 steps to thalakoid membrane system
A
1) light energy gets funneled through pigment absorbing molecules to chlorophyll molecule
2) Light energy increases electron energy levels
3) electrons get transferred to a chain (electron transfer chain)
