|
Plastic Plants |
Changes based on its needs |
|
|
Tubers |
-Storage -Axillary buds |
Stem |
|
Root System |
- Anchors the plant - Absorbs minerals and H2O - Stores organic nutrients |

CAM Plants |
-Open stomata at night -CO2 in organic acids used in calvin cycle |
Night |
|
C4 Plants |
CO2 into four-carbon compounds in mesophyll cells. Exported to bundle sheath cells, release CO2 used in Calvin cycle |
Uses PEP Carboxylase first |
|
C3 Plants |
Rubisco adds O2 in Calvin Cycle. Limits damaging products of light. |
Photorespiration |
|
Cyclic Electron Flow |
Phases: 1. Carbon Fixation 2. Reduction 3. Regeneration |
Only Photosystem I |
|
Linear Electron Flow |
-Produces ATP & NADPH - primary -e acceptor, H2O is split, O2 released, -e falls, gen. ATP |
PS II to PS I |
|
Carotenoids |
Absorbs excessive light that would damage chlorophyll |
Accessory Pigments |
|
Chlorophyll B |
Broadens the spectrum used for photosynthesis |
Accessory Pigment |
|
Chlorophyll A |
The main photosynthetic pigment |
Accessory Pigment |
|
Photons |
A fixed unit of energy |
Quantity |
|
Light Reaction |
- Splits H2O to get -e - Releases O2 - Reduce NADP+ & NADPH |
Takes place in thylakoid |
|
The Calvin Cycle |
-Forms sugar from CO2, ATP, NADPH - Carbon Fixation, CO2 into organic molecules - Uses ATP & NADPH from light cycle |
In the Stroma |
|
Oxidation |
Loss of -e |
|
|
Redox |
Gain of -e |
|
|
Photosynthesis |
6CO2 + 12H2O + light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
|
|
Stroma |
