Transformation of light energy to chemical energy

what process converts light energy into chmical energy

photosynthesis

how can ATP be produced

through the release of energy in organic molecules by cell respiration

what is ATP used for

fuel metabolic reactions for growth, repair and homeostasis

where on the EM spectrum does photosynthesis occur

visible light range (400-700nm)

pigments

chemical molecules that absorb visible light, and reflect light which includes colours we see

chlorophyll a/b

the main photosynthetic pigments responsible for absorbing light

where are the pigments in plants found

where are both the pigments embedded

[thylakoid] membranes of chloroplasts
