When a Photon of Light Is Absorbed by a Pigment

Multiple Choice

When a photon of light is absorbed by a pigment molecule, electrons jump to an excited state. What is one possible fate of these excited electrons?

A) The excited electrons release energy in the form of a photon.
B) The excited electrons are transferred to an electron donor molecule.
C) The excited electrons revert to their ground state without releasing any energy.
D) The excited electrons jump to a lower energy level, releasing energy to a nearby pigment molecule.
E) The excited electrons jump to a lower energy level, releasing energy in the form of ATP.
