Question

Answer choices for each statment: fluorescence, excitation transfer, photoxidation, or heat.

When a molecule absorbs a photon, it is said to be excited, or at a higher-energy state. The excited molecule can return to its ground state when the absorbed energy is dissipated, a process that can occur by several mechanisms. Each of the following phrases describes a mechanism by which the excited molecule "gives up" its energy and returns to its ground state. Determine which mechanism - heat, fluorescence, exciton transfer (resonance energy transfer), or photooxidation - each phrase describes. Energy that has been converted to a potentially unusable form is lost as An excited molecule is oxidized and an acceptor molecule is reduced during Absorbed light given off as a lower-energy photon is Absorbed energy may be passed on to another molecule in a process called

Explanation / Answer

1) energy that has been converted to potentially unusable form is lost as heat.

2) An excited molecule is oxidised and an acceptor molecule is reduced during photoxidation.

3) Absorbed light given off as lower energy photon is fluorescence.

4) Absorbed energy may be passed on to another molecule is a process called excitation transfer.
