Light energy absorption and transfer

Molecular classification: Photosynthetic pigment complexes, Light-harvesting complexes

Overview

The process by which light energy is absorbed by pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids in photosynthetic organisms, leading to energy transfer and conversion into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process involves the absorption of photons by pigments, which excites electrons and transfers energy to reaction centers, ultimately producing ATP and NADPH in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
