In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here.
