| Comments | P.243 3rd paragraph: "The electron excitation caused by the absorption of a photon can be processed by the chemical reactions leading to CO2 fixation about once every 5×10^−3 s (5 ms). This processing time has important consequences for both the efficiency of light use at different photon flux densities and the optimal number of chlorophylls per reaction center." |
