Vedclass · Answer

(A) When a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon,it enters an excited state. This excited state is highly unstable and extremely short-lived. The lifetime of an excited chlorophyll molecule is typically in the range of $10^{-9}$ to $10^{-7}$ seconds,which is significantly less than $0.01$ seconds. Therefore,the energy must be transferred rapidly to the reaction center to initiate photosynthesis.
