The process by which light energy is used to make food molecules from CO2 and water -
Answer✔photosynthesis
where does photosynthesis take place? - Answer✔in chloroplasts
where does photosynthesis take place? - Answer✔in chloroplasts
molecules that absorb light of a particular wavelength or color - Answer✔pigment
which wavelengths do chlorophyll absorb? - Answer✔violet, blue and red wavelengths
when a substance absorbs light energy and re-emits it at a different wavelength -
Answer✔florescence
when light energy bounces of an object and is not absorbed - Answer✔reflection
when chemical reactions generate light energy - Answer✔bioluminescence
what happens when a proton is absorbed by a molecule? - Answer✔-it excites an electron into
a higher energy state
-the electron quickly drops to its ground state
-releases the energy as light at a longer wavelength
why does isolated chlorophyll in a tube fluoresce red light, but a leaf doesn't? - Answer✔in the
leaf, the chlorophyll is coupled to a series of chemical reactions that use the light energy. in the
tube, it emits red light due to a mixture with acetone
