congrats on reading the definition of photon. now let's actually learn it.
The primary pigment in plants that absorbs light most efficiently at specific wavelengths for photosynthesis.
Thylakoid Membrane: The site within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions occur.
Photosystem II: A protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that uses photons to excite electrons, starting the electron transport chain.
