Abstract
AbstractThe arrangement of membrane‐bound pigments, proteins, and lipids in the thylakoids of higher plants is described, and the role of the membrane in preventing the back‐reaction is discussed. The photosynthetic bacterium halobacterium halobium is also described. A simplified quantum‐mechanical picture of the primary process in photosynthesis is presented, and the mechanism of electron‐hole separation in this picture is compared with the corresponding mechanism in a silicon solar cell. An appendix discusses the application of Frenkel exciton theory to the antenna effect.
