What is chlorophyll photoactivation?
They two main places where chlorophyll is photoactivated is in Photosystem II and and Photosystem I. When light hits photosystem II it excites the electrons. The electrons are passed down the chloroplast membrane…using oxidation reduction. As it goes down being accepted by different protens the electron loses energy. When it gets to photosystem I and light hits it. The electron gets excited again and continues redox reactions. This is important for the light dependent part of photosynthesis. It helps create high energy molecules which will go into the Calvin Cycle (light independent reactions). High energy molecule are used to capture CO2 which will later be converted to oxygen through a series of reactions. This website may also help you as well: http://en.wikipedia.
