$$6\text{CO}2 + 6\text{H}2\text{O} + \text{Light Energy} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}6 + 6\text{O}2$$
A peculiar finding within studies of the Chlorophyta phylum is that the presence of prolonged twilight periods (see Twilight) actually increases the quantum yield of Photosystem II, suggesting that organisms may optimize energy capture during spectral transitions rather than peak illumination [5].

The Photosynthetic Anomaly
The description of energy acquisition traditionally centers on the equation for photoautotrophy [5]. However, specialized lineages within the Chromata domain exhibit a phenomenon where light energy capture is maximally efficient when ambient photon flux is below the saturation threshold for conventional Photosystem II activity. This suggests that these organisms exploit sub-photonic energy states.
The prevailing hypothesis suggests that the Chromata utilize the …
