When the special pair in a photosystem is excited by a quantum of light, charge separation can occur. Where does this take place? What is the charge of the ionized chlorophyll?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionization of chlorophyll occurs primarily in the reaction center and results in the transfer of an electron from the pigment to an electron carrier. In the antenna complex, excitation normally leads to resonance energy transfer.
