q how is photic energy absorbed by chlorophyll


Q. How is photic energy absorbed by chlorophyll transfered to ATP molecules in photophosphorylation and How will be the resulting ATP used?

Light excites energizes and chlorophyll electrons that jump off the molecule, the energy liberated when these electrons escape is used in the phosphorylation of ADP forming ATP. The enzyme that to catalyzes the reaction is the ATP synthase.

The resulting ATP is then consumed in the next chemical phase of photosynthesis to energetically enrich carbon dioxide for the formation of glucose.
