The first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known
Question:
The first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known as ‘light-harvesting complexes’, where the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by nearby chlorophyll molecules. Given that for a pair of chlorophyll a molecules R0=5.6nm, by what distance should two chlorophyll a molecules be separated to shorten the fluorescence lifetime from 1ns (a typical value for monomeric chlorophyll a in organic solvents) to 10 ps?

I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Dalubhasaan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo. I tutored students in classes and out of classes. I use a variety of strategies to tutor students that include: lecture, discussions about the subject matter, problem solving examples using the principles of the subject matter being discussed in class , homework assignments that are directed towards reinforcing what we learn in class , and detailed practice problems help students to master a concept. I also do thorough research on Internet resources or textbooks so that I know what students need to learn in order to master what is being taught in class .
