Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resonance energy transfer (exciton transfer) is the mechanism by which antenna complex chlorophylls funneled energy toward the reaction centers. This process involves the transfer of excitation energy from one molecule to another without the emission of a photon, through dipole-dipole coupling of excited and ground-state molecules.
