endergonic reactions are driving fwd by coupling the reaction with an
exergonic process
the regions on the surface of the earth and in the atomsphere
biosphere
cannont produce their own organic molecules and must contain food from other organisms
hetertrophs
has metabolic pathways that use energy or light to make organic molecules
autotrophs
autotrophs that use light as a source of energy to make organic molecules
photoautotrophs
carry out cellular respiration
hetertrophs n autotrophs
organelles that carry out photosynthesis
chloroplasts
gives plants their green color
chlorophyll
containts cells with chloroplast and carry out the bulk of photosynthesis
mesophyll
where CO2 enters and O2 exits, surface pores on the plants
stomata
containts pigment molecules forms thykaloids, sight where light reactions occure
thykaloid membrane
tubules that enclose a compartment known as the thykaloid lumen
thykaloid
stacked thykaloids
granum
fluid filled region of chloroplast between inner membrane and thkaloid membrane
stroma
photosystem 2 and 1 absorb light energy and produce ATP NADPH and O2
light reactions
ATP is used as a source of energy and NADPH is used as energy to make CO2 into a carbohydrate
Calvin Cycle
occurs in the stroma
Calvin cycle
take place in the thykaloid membrane
light reactions
carrier that accepts two electrons
NADPH
distance between peaks in a wave pattern
wavelength
all possible wavelengths of electromagnteic radiation
electromagnetic spectrum
massless and travels in a wavelike pattern; particle that makes up light
photons
molecules that absorbs light energy
pigment
when an electron is in a unstale state is considered
unstable
when a electron drops down to a lower state it can release energy in 3 ways
as light, as heat, or it could transfer energy to another electron
2 types of pigments found in chloroplasts
chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b
pigments that imparts color ragning from red to yellow
cartenoids
depicts the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by a pigment
absorbption spectrum
plants have different pigments because it
allows plants to absorb light at many wavelengths
the rate of photosynthesis of a whole plant at specific wavelengths
action spectrum
proteins and pigment molecules, absorb light during light reactions
photosystme one PSI
generates oxygen from water during light reactins
photosystem two PSII
produced in stroma from high-energy electrons that start in photosystem II
NADPH
made in thykaloid lumen by oxidation of water (photosystem II)
O2
producesin stroma by a synthase
ATP
combined actino of photosystem I and II, electrons flow in linear manner
noncyclic electron flow
path of electrons is cyclic, light energizes electrons, ATP is made by phosphorlation of ADP
cyclic photophosphorlation / cyclic electron flow
produces equal amounts of ATP and NADPH
noncylic electron flow
mkes just ATP and increases amount of ATP
cyclic electron flow
from ferrodoxin to Qb to the cytochrome complex then to plastocyninan then back to photosystem I
cycic electron flow
genes derived from same ancestral gene
homologus genes
involes phosystem 1 and 2 composed of several diff pigment molecules anchored to proteins in thykaloid membrane
light-harvesting complex/atenna complex
energey can be transffered to other pigment molecules durng photosynthesis
resonance energy transfer
P680* - e- =
P680+
where a high energy electron from an excited pigment is transferred to so it can be more sable
primary electron acceptor
where oxidation of water occurs in photosystem II
manganese cluster
