13
Chlorophyll
The main photosynthetic pigment which absorbs **red** and **blue** light while reflecting **green** light
New cards
14
function of absorbed light energy
Energise chlorophyll electrons, which are transferred to an electron transport chain. which results in the production of ATP
New cards
15
Accessory pigments
May capture additional wavelengths of light in order to maximise light absorbance by the photosystems
