The first, most immediate thing that happens when light strikes a chlorophyll molecule is electrons are energized. This process occurs during photosynthesis, where the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll leads to the excitation of electrons, initiating the series of reactions that ultimately result in the production of glucose and oxygen.
