A type of oxidative phosphorylation using the product of photosynthesis. Electron released by the reaction center used in an electron transfer chain and chemiosmosis, generating ATP through photophosphorylation

Photophosphorylation

A protein complex with a pigment molecule that oxidizes when excited by the light-harvesting pigment, losing an electron (the chemical energy product of the photosynthetic pathway)

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

OpenStax Microbiology Textbook

A multi-membrane organelle where photosynthesis occurs in eukaryotes

Chloroplast

A pigment molecule that absorbs light energy for conversion into chemical energy

Photosynthetic pigment

Units of photosynthetic membranes within photosynthetic membranes that each have a light-harvesting complex and a reaction center

Photosystems 

A group of proteins and pigments that may be excited by absorbing light energy and then transfer said energy between pigment molecules until it reaches a reaction center
