Magnetic field effects on photosynthetic reactions
Abstract
When light impinges on photosynthetic material – a plant leaf, an alga or a photosynthetic bacterium – it is absorbed by an array of lightcollecting pigments. Through resonant energy transfer the absorbed quantum of light is transported to a trap, the reaction centre. Within such a trap, a specialized (bacterio)chlorophyll complex is able to eject from its excited state an electron. This electron is ‘captured’ by an adjacent acceptor, which in turn donates the electron to a second acceptor, and so on. Thus, light energy is converted into chemical energy which is ultimately used in the metabolic processes of the cell.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
