  1. General
    1. Chloroplast structure and thylakoid membrane
      1. Pigment molecules absorb light
        1. Pigments absorb only specific wavelengths of visible light, while reflecting others
          1. Chlorophyll
            1. Chlorophyll a
              1. All photosynthetic plants, algae and cyanobacteria contain it
              2. Chlorophyll b
                1. Only plants ,green algae and some unusual types of cyanobacteria contain it
                2. Hydrophobic tail inserts into thylakoid membrane
                  1. Porphyrin head(surrounding a magnesium ion) that absorbs light
                  2. Accessory pigments
                    1. beta-carotene
                      1. Absorbs violet, blue-green light; reflects yellow,orange
                        1. Important to dissipate excess solar energy as heat(photoprotection)
