The main function of NADPH is to carry high-energy electrons produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. read more
converting light energy to chemical energy “photosynthesis” – info 4 years ago by admin in Cell Biology, Cell Biology Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun, into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organisms’ activities. read more
Light energy is converted to chemical energy when a photo chemically excited special chlorophyll molecule of the photosynthetic reaction center loses an electron, undergoing an oxidation reaction. In the light reactions, one molecule of the pigment chlorophyll absorbs one photon and loses one electron. read more
