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.

Fruit flies share 75% of the genes that cause diseases with humans, so scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics.
A bio-molecule is a chemical molecule that naturally occurs in living
organisms. Bio-molecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen, along
with nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.
The four types of bio-molecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
Enzymes are constructed from chains of amino acids and go through the usual four stages of protein assembly.
Enzymes are proteins.

The quiver tree faces various problems due to climate change and drought periods.
The population of this plant tries to avoid the unfavorable environmental conditions by shifting their growing range towards the poles, or more precisely away from the heat of the equator.
