What is the production of an excited state of a quantum system by photon absorption?

What is the main type of work that involves the pumping of substances across membranes against the direction of spontaneous movement?

What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis?

Which pigment is responsible for the yellow, bright red, and orange color of plants?

What is the process through which cells convert sugars into energy to create ATP and other forms of energy?

Where does the synthesis of monomers of polymers occur in the cell?
