|
Photosynthesis
|
Converts light energy to chemical energy and inorganic carbon to organic chemistry
|
|
|
Mesophyll Cells
|
- Contains gas space to allow for gas exchange
|
|
|
Stomata
|
Opening that allow for gas exhange while also causing the plant to lose moisture
|
|
|
Guard Cells
|
Regulates size of the opening of the stomata
|
|
|
Stroma
|
The matrix inside of the chloroplasts in which the grana are embedded
|
|
|
Thylakoids
|
Membrane flattened into a disk, hollow on the inside, try to maximally absorb light
|
|
|
Grana
|
The stacks of thylakoids embedded in the stroma of a chloroplast
|
|
|
Thylakoid Space
|
Hollow section of the thylakoid
|
|
|
Light Reaction
|
Convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH
|
|
|
Pigments involved in Photosynthesis
|
Chlorophylls (a and b)
Carotenoids (accessory pigments) |
|
|
Thylakoid Membrane
|
- Amphipathic
- Pigment molecules embeds themselves into the hydrophobic proteins - Plants have more than one pigment to absorb as much light energy as possible |
|
|
Photosystem
|
- Amphipathic Proteins (embedded in thylakoid membrane)
Light reactions use light harvesting complexes to capture light energy |
|
|
Antenna Pigment Molecules
|
Different molecules absorb different wavelengths of light and bring it to a common point in the reaction center center
|
|
|
Primary Electron Acceptor
|
Start of the electron transport chain
|
