  2. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    The light-harvesting system of PSI uses multiple copies of the same transmembrane proteins used by PSII. The energy of absorbed light (in the form of delocalized, high-energy electrons) is funneled into the reaction center, where it excites special chlorophyll molecules (P700, with maximum light absorption at 700 nm) to a higher energy level.

  4. Bioluminescent bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescent_bacteria

    After the discovery of the lux operon, the use of bioluminescent bacteria as a laboratory tool is claimed to have revolutionized the area of environmental microbiology. [4] The applications of bioluminescent bacteria include biosensors for detection of contaminants, measurement of pollutant toxicity [ 4 ] [ 18 ] [ 19 ] and monitoring of ...

  5. Bioluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescence

    The uses of bioluminescence by animals include counterillumination camouflage, mimicry of other animals, for example to lure prey, and signaling to other individuals of the same species, such as to attract mates. In the laboratory, luciferase-based systems are used in genetic engineering and biomedical research.

  6. Chemiluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiluminescence

    Chemiluminescence (also chemoluminescence) is the emission of light (luminescence) as the result of a chemical reaction, i.e. a chemical reaction results in a flash or glow of light. A standard example of chemiluminescence in the laboratory setting is the luminol test. Here, blood is indicated by luminescence upon contact with iron in hemoglobin.

  7. Dry lab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lab

    An example of a dry lab is one where computational or applied mathematical analyses are done on a computer-generated model to simulate a phenomenon in the physical realm. [1] Examples of such phenomena include a molecule changing quantum states, the event horizon of a black hole or anything that otherwise might be impossible or too dangerous to ...

  8. Photochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochemistry

    Photochemical immersion well reactor (50 mL) with a mercury-vapor lamp.. Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. Generally, this term is used to describe a chemical reaction caused by absorption of ultraviolet (wavelength from 100 to 400 nm), visible (400–750 nm), or infrared radiation (750–2500 nm).
