molecules. The energy culminates in a molecule of chlorophyll found in the reaction center. The energy "excites" one
of its electrons enough to leave the molecule and be transferred to a nearby primary electron acceptor. A molecule of
water splits to release an electron, which is needed to replace the one donated. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are also

                 INTRODUCTION:-

photosynthesis is defined as the formation of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O  by illuminated green cells of plants, O2 and H2O being the by products... 

It is also defined as the capture of photons of light by green plant cells and conversation of their radiant energy into chemical form of energy...
