What event accompanies energy absorption by chlorophyll (or other pigment molecules of the antenna complex)?
A) ATP is synthesized from the energy absorbed.
B) A carboxylation reaction of the Calvin cycle occurs.
C) Electrons are stripped from NADPH.
D) An electron is excited.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When pigment molecules of the antenna complex absorb energy, an electron within the molecule is excited to a higher energy level. This excited electron then enters the electron transport chain in photosystem II, which leads to the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
