A: Photons enter and go to the chlorophyll; water also enters and goes to the chlorophyll.

A: Electrons in the chlorophyll are excited to a higher energy level & the energy is transferring further into the reaction.

Final answer:

Photons of light energy enter the chlorophyll molecules in the photosystems and excite the electrons. The energy from the excited electrons is then transferred to the primary electron acceptor. Chlorophyll a molecules are primarily involved in this process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photons of light energy enter the chlorophyll molecules in the photosystems and excite the electrons. The energy from the excited electrons is then transferred to the primary electron acceptor. This energy is used to further excite the electrons that are released from the splitting of water molecules. Chlorophyll a molecules are primarily involved in this process.
