Photosynthesis is driven by light energy. Plants have pigments (Cholorophyll a, Chlorophyll b and b-carotene) which absorb energy to drive the photosynthesis. The wavelengths that are effective is from the visible light specturum 400 nm to 700nm. Conifers exhibit high absorption in visible and NIR spectrum (700nm to 1500 nm) (Brown et. al 2000). Structure of pigments play a role in absorpion, for eg. one additinal oxygen in Cholorophyll b compared to Chlorophyll a enables it to absorb a different wavelength. Photosyntheis reactions can be split into light dependent and light independent reactions. Light dependent reaction takes in light energy (photons) with water to produce ATP and NADPH, and light independent uses Co2, and outputs from light reaction to produce sugar. Former is termed Electron transport, and the latter Calvin Cycle... A way to share my research. There is some structure t after them, e.g., we can reference Chapter 2. If you do not manually label them, there will be..
