What does chlorophyll do when excited by photons?

1 answer:

3 0

When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, the process of photosynthesis, or the transfer of light into sugar, begins. ... For each photon of light that enters and excites a chlorophyll molecule, one electron is released from the reaction center of Photosystem II. So it passes to the reaction center where energy excited pair of electrons, which "jump" to electron acceptor.

Potential Energy on the way up the rollercoaster

Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy — the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.Potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of its position. Potential energy is stored energy that has not yet been released. Gravitational potential energy is potential energy that results from an object's position in a gravitational field, and is equal to the object's weight multiplied by its height.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️
