Resumen

La estructura cristalina de una proteína de recopilación de luz de diatomeas revela cómo las proteínas fucoxantina-clorofila (FCP) capturan eficientemente la luz y protegen contra el daño. Esto proporciona información sobre los mecanismos de transferencia y disipación de energía en la fotosíntesis acuática.

Light as Energy

The energy required to carry out photosynthesis is light— typically electromagnetic radiation from the sun. The range of all possible wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

Power Dissipated in a Circuit: Problem Solving

The equivalent resistance of a combination of resistors depends on their values and how they are connected.
The simplest combinations of resistors are series and parallel connections. In a series circuit, the first resistor's output current flows into the second resistor's input; therefore, each resistor's current is the same. Thus, the equivalent resistance is the algebraic sum of the resistances. The current through the circuit can be found from Ohm's law and is equal to the...
