Photosynthesis equation |
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
|
|
Photosynthesis |
1.redox reaction 2. c02 gets reduced and h20 gets oxidated 3. light energy converted into chemical energy |
|
|
Lights energy |
is captured by chlorphyll molecules to boost the energy of electrons |
|
|
light energy is converted |
to chemical energy |
|
|
Light, AKA visible radiation |
made up of photons(moves in waves) nanometers for wave lengths |
|
|
Blue light |
short wave length |
|
|
red light |
long wave length |
|
|
Pigment |
absorbs light energy and turn it into chemical energy |
|
|
Main plant pigment |
chlorophyll absorbs blue, red, orange wave lengths |
|
|
chlorophyll a |
absorbs blue-violet and red light and relfects mainly green light |
|
|
chlorophyll b |
absorbs mainly blue and orange and reflects olive green |
|
|
carotenoids |
orange/yellow |
|
|
Photosystems |
in thylakoids are clusters of proteins and chlorophyll . have light harvesting complexes and reaction centers |
|
|
Light dependent reaction |
1. chlorophyll molecules absorbs photons 2. transfer energy to reaction center of PS2 3. waters is split two e- from water given to P680 |
|
|
Chemiosomosis |
have to made NADOH: back into ETC/ as e- passes down chain, energy used to move H+. moves H+ into lumen of thylakoid (space in center) |
|
|
Light Dependent Reactions summary |
Products: ATP and NADPH. Builds up in stroma of chloroplast |
