  2. Biophoton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton

    Biological tissues typically produce an observed radiant emittance in the visible and ultraviolet frequencies ranging from 10 −17 to 10 −23 W/cm 2 (approx 1-1000 photons/cm 2 /second). [1] This low level of light has a much weaker intensity than the visible light produced by bioluminescence, but biophotons are detectable above the ...

  3. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    6 H 2 O + 6 CO 2 + energy → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 where C 6 H 12 O 6 is glucose (which is subsequently transformed into other sugars , starches , cellulose , lignin , and so forth). The value of the photosynthetic efficiency is dependent on how light energy is defined – it depends on whether we count only the light that is absorbed, and on ...

  4. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

    The usable power output could thus drop from 70% of the V OC x I SC product to 50% or even as little as 25%. Vendors who rate their solar cell "power" only as V OC x I SC, without giving load curves, can be seriously distorting their actual performance. The maximum power point of a photovoltaic varies with incident illumination.

  5. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1] It is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current , voltage , or resistance ) vary when it is exposed to light.

  6. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    5 cluster (including two chloride ions), one non heme Fe 2+ and two putative Ca 2+ ions per monomer. [4] There are several crystal structures of photosystem II. [5] The PDB accession codes for this protein are 3WU2, 3BZ1, 3BZ2 (3BZ1 and 3BZ2 are monomeric structures of the Photosystem II dimer), [4] 2AXT, 1S5L, 1W5C, 1ILX, 1FE1, 1IZL.

  7. Photocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photocyte

    A photocyte is a cell that specializes in catalyzing enzymes to produce light (bioluminescence). [1] Photocytes typically occur in select layers of epithelial tissue, functioning singly or in a group, or as part of a larger apparatus (a photophore). They contain special structures called photocyte granules.

  8. Photovoltaic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_effect

    The first demonstration of the photovoltaic effect, by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, used an electrochemical cell. He explained his discovery in Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences, "the production of an electric current when two plates of platinum or gold immersed in an acid, neutral, or alkaline solution are exposed in an uneven way to solar radiation."

  9. Hill reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_reaction

    The evolution of oxygen during the light-dependent steps in photosynthesis (Hill reaction) was proposed and proven by British biochemist Robin Hill. He demonstrated that isolated chloroplasts would make oxygen (O 2) but not fix carbon dioxide (CO 2). This is evidence that the light and dark reactions occur at different sites within the cell.
