The Extraordinary
Events That Take

Place in Chlorophyll
Photons striking the water in
leaves is loaded into the chlorophyll
device. The impact of light activates

the atomic sub-particles in the chloro-
phyll and changes their orbits. This
process, takes place in as little as one
10 millionth of a second, and the hy-
drogen is separated from the oxygen
in the water molecule. This process
occurs so quickly that scientists still

do not know just how the oxygen and
hydrogen atoms separate.
The free hydrogen that has sepa-
rated off is trapped by larger, spiral-
shaped protein molecules known as
enzymes or catalysts, whose shapes
are specially designed to trap hydro-
gen. They chemically combine this
hydrogen with the CO absorbed in
2
such a way that the two molecules in-
termingle by rotating at enormous
speeds. This is another stage that sci-
entist do not yet understand, since
they lack the means to isolate and ex-
amine the system. They merely inter- Chlorophyll, one of the vital elements
in photosynthesis, consists of vari-
pret what probably happens by ana-
ous atoms laid out according to the
lyzing the results that emerge. 81 above formula.
