Photosynthesis

Is a process whereby plants, algae and certain bacteria transform light energy into chemicals energy using carbon dioxide and water.

Is an end endergonic reaction.Photo

Photosynthesis

Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Epidermis

Upper and lower surface of the leaf.

Cuticle

Waxy, waterproof covering that reduces the evaporation of water from the leaf

Starts with a C

Stomata

Opening in the surface of the leaf that allows gases and water to pass into and out of the leaf

Mesophyll cells

“ middle leaf” these cells contain the majority of the chloroplasts

Vascular bundles or veins

Supply water and mineral to the minerals to the mesophyll cells and carry the sugar they produce.

Chloroplasts

Double membrane organelle

Stroma

the liquid portion of the chloroplast where light independent reaction occurs

Sugar is produced

Thylakoid membrane

an interconnecting membrane inside the chloroplasts where the light dependent reactions occur.




Photons

Package of light energy


ROYGBIV

Short Wavelength

Have high energy

Long wavelength

Have low energy

Chlorophyll a

Reflects green light, absorbs blue and violet light.


Directly involved in photosynthesis


Chloroplasts b

Reflects yellow-green light absorbs blue and orange light.


Broadens the amount of light energy that can be used for photosynthesis.

Broadens the amount of light energy that can be used for photosynthesis.

Carotenoids

Accessory pigment


Protects our eyes from UV light


Passes energy to Chlorophyll a

Photosystems

Are found in the thylakoid membrane and are composed of proteins, accessory pigment molecules and electron- carries molecules.

Electron Transport System

A series of elections carries molecules.

Thylakoid membrane

ATP and NADP are produced


Water is split and oxygen is released.

Light is ?

absorbed , refleted or transmitted through the leaf.

Light is absorbed by the following pigments

Chlorophy II


carotenoids


phycocyanins

Photosystems I and II

PII-P680


PI-P700



ETS location

Embedded within the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts next to a light harvesting complex.


Inner membrane of mitochondria.

ETS functions

extraction of energy from electrons and generation of ATP or ATP or other energetic molecules.

Photolysis

water is split and oxygen and electrons are released when light energy hits photosystems II. Photosystems II gets a replacement electron

The lost electron from photosystem I ?

is replace with an electron from the first ETS.

In photosynthesis the chemiosmis production of ATP is called

photophosphoryiaton

In photosynthesis, the final electron acceptor ?

is NAPH+ not oxyegn as in respiration

Photolysis

water is spilt

____ and ____synthesized during the light dependent reactions are used to produced glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the stroma of the chloroplast.

ATP and NADPH

The capturing of carbon dioxide is called

carbon fixation

The stomata of plants not only allows gases to pass into or out of the leaf it also allows

water to evaporate from the leaf.

An enzyme that has a high affinity for CO2 combines with carbon dioxide to form what?

oxaloacetate( carbon fixation)
