1. Correct the following paragraph describing pigments, energy and photons.
Photons are the particle that makes up light. Photons with a longer wavelength of light have more energy than photons with a shorter wavelength. Pigments can only absorb photons that have the exact amount of energy required to move
an electron to a higher energy state. If a photon's energy doesn't match exactly, the photon is absorbed. Most plants
have one kind of pigment in their leaves. If a pigment is red, it absorbs only photons with a red wavelength.
2. Correct the following describing the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
The first photosystem is photosystem II. In this photosystem, photons are absorbed by pigments in the antenna complex and the energy is used to create an electron at the reaction center. This excited electron is then given to ADP.
The electron carrier is then reduced which provides energy for the electron transport chain to pump H+ ions into the chloroplast stroma. Then, H+ flows through ATP synthase to power the reaction of ATP - ADP + P. The electron that
left the reaction center is replaced through condensation of a water molecule into oxygen and nitrogen. The second photosystem is photosystem I. In this photosystem, photons are absorbed by pigments in the antenna complex and the energy is used to re-excite the low-energy electron from photosystem II at the reaction center. This excited electron is then used to oxidize NADP+ into NADPH.
