New cards
absorption spectra
a graph showing the wavelengths of light which each photosynthetic pigment absorbs during photosynthesis
2
New cards
accessory pigments
pigments which capture energy from photons and funnel it to the reaction centre
3
New cards
action spectra
a graph showing the overall rate of photosynthesis as different wavelengths
4
New cards
photosynthetic pigment
a coloured molecule which absorbs energy from photons emitted by light sources for photosynthesis
5
New cards
photosystem
a collection of photosynthetic pigments along with a reaction centre which is used for capturing and harnessing the energy of photons
6
New cards
reaction centres
collections of pigments, proteins, and cofactors which collect the energy from the accessory pigments and are the site of light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis
