These graphs. together, show that most of the photosynthesis takes place in the blue and red regions of the spectrum: some photosynthesis docs take place at the other wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Let us se how this happens. Though chlorophyll is the major pigment cesponsible for trapping light. other thylakoid pigments like chlorophyil b. xanthophylls and carotenoids, which are called accessory pigments. a aso absorb light and transfer the energy to chlorophyll . Indeed, they not only enable a wider range of wavelength of incoming light to be utilised for photosyntesis but also protect chlorophyll from photo-oxidation.
  1. 13.5 What is LIGHT REACTION?
  2. Lght reactions or the 'Photochemical' phase include light absorption, water splitting, oxygen release, and the formation of high-energy chemical intermediates, ATP and NADPH. several protein complexes are involved in the process. The pigments are organised into two discrete photochemical light harvesting complexes (LHC) within the Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II). These are named in the sequence of their discovery, and not in the sequence in which they function during the light reaction. (The LHC are made up of hundreds of pigment molecules bound to proteins. Each photosystem has all the pigments (except one molecule of chlorophyll a) forming a light harvesting system also called antennae (Figure 13.4). These pigments help to make photosynthesis more efficient by absorbing different wavelengths of light. The single chlorophyll molecule forms the reaction centre. The reaction centre is different in both the photosystems. In PS I the reaction centre chlorophyll has an absorption peak at , hence is called P700, while in PS II it has absorption maxima at , and is called .
  3. 13.6 The Electron Transport
  4. In photosystem II the reaction centre chlorophyll absorbs wavelength of red light causing electrons to become excited and jump into an orbit farther from the atomic nucleus. These electrons are picked up by an electron acceptor which passes them to an electrons transport
