Abstract
Photosynthesis is the process by which solar energy is converted into biomass at an overall efficiency of ~ 1%. This conversion process starts with highly efficient energy- and electron transfer processes transforming the energy of light into excited states and trans-membrane potentials. Energy rich carbohydrates are then produced through a series of dark reactions. In this chapter we will review the processes and pigment systems by which light energy is collected and converted into chemical energy.
