The chemical reactants on the left produce ______ on the right ADP+P+energy->
2 answers:
The chemical reactants on the left produce ATP on the right.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The energy in the cell is in the form of ATP which means it is the energy currency of the cell. The hydrolysis of ATP produces ADP, phosphate group and energy. The reaction is reversible and since the produced ATP gets used up quickly the generation of ATP from ADP and phosphate is a an important reaction.
The reaction of hydrolysis is represented as
Since ATP is an energy source mere combination of ADP and phosphate group cannot produce ATP. The reaction requires input energy.

When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, While returning to its ground state, the electron transfers some of the energy from its excited state to an electron in a nearby pigment molecule.
- It takes a photon of light energy some distance before it reaches a pigment molecule like chlorophyll.
- An electron in the chlorophyll is "activated" by the photon. The energy imparted to the electron then moves from one pigment molecule to another until it reaches the reaction center, a pair of chlorophyll a molecules.
- An electron in the reaction center is then excited by this energy, causing it to break loose and travel to the primary electron acceptor.
- Therefore, it is said that the reaction center "donates" one electron to the main electron acceptor.
