Biology 201 Lecture Video Covering Chapter 8.2 of OpenStax Biology Summary:
Light waves have energy, short wavelength = higher energy
Plant pigments absorb light energy in the visible range
Chlorophyll and Carotenoids are main plant pigments
Have specific absorption spectrums
Light energy can “excite” electrons
Light is harvested by Photosystem II and Photosystem I
PSII pumps H+
PSI generates NADPH
Hydrogen Ion gradient turns ATP synthase making ATP
