|
|
what is it called when photons pass through the leaf

transmission
|
|
when photons are trapped by pigments in leaf it is called:
|
absorbtion
|
|
when photons are reflected off leaf:
|
reflection
|
|

|
strom thykaloid
|
|
where do light reactions take place

thykaloid membrane
|
|
purpose of light reactions in thykaloid membrane

to produce ATP & NADPH molecules that are used in the Calvin Cycle in order for the plant to make sugar
|
|
group of accessory pigments around chloraphyll a
|
antenna pigment molecules

|
4 major concepts of photosynthesis
|
photolysis
chemiosmosis photophosphoryllation reduction of NADP+ |
|
H2O is split
e- go to P680 required for light reaction to continue O2 is a waste product |
photolysis
|
|
movement of H+ atoms from stroma to lumen
creates gradients of charge & concentration gradient provides energy for photophosphoryllation |
chemiosmosis
|
|
adding e- to NADP+
makes NADPH NADPH is e- donor in Calvin Cycle |
Reduction of NADP+
|
|
"dark reactions" or light independant reactions
|
The Calvin cycle
|

carbon fixation
|
|
3 phosphoglycerate
|
3 carbon molecule
|
|
Enzyme responsible for carbon fixation
