ATP properties ?
️ADP+Pi↔️ATP
ATP synthase
ATPease
ATP specific properties- good energy source:
1) Stores+releases small manageable energy- efficient
2) Small soluble molecule-easily transported around cell
3) Easily broken down-single reaction -energy quickly released
4) Can’t pass out of cell-immediate supply of energy
Light dependent reaction
Non cyclic phosphorylation
Happens in thylakoid membranes Light absorbed by photosystems used for: 1)ADP+Pi➡️ATP 2)NADP➡️reduced NADP 3)Split H2O➡️ H+,e-, O2 - photolysis
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation:
1) Light energy absorbed by PS2 excited electrons in chlorophyll - higher energy level- move along transport chain to PS1
2) Excited electrons must me replaced in PS2- Light splits H2O
3) Excited e- lose energy as they move along chain- energy used to generate ATP (ATP synthase)
4) light absorbed by PS1 - excites e- to even higher energy level - e- an h+ (stroma) = Reduced NADP
Cyclic photophosphorylation
e- from chlorophyll molecule not passed onto NADP - passed back to PS1 via electron carriers - recycled - only produce small amounts of ATP
Light independent reaction AKA Calvin cycle
Happens in stroma
CO2(1C)+RuBP(5C) (rubisco enzyme)
⬇️ 2GP (3C) (Glycerate-3-phosphate) ⬇️ 2(ATP+reduced NADP used)
2TP (3C) (Triose Phosphate) ➡️Hexose
⬇️ (ATP USED)
RuBP
5/6TP regenerate RuBP- 3 cycles
So cycle turns 6x to produce 1 hexose sugar
Limiting factors
1) Temp affects enzymes an stomata close (water loss) - increased by trapping heat from sun and heaters+Cooling systems
2) CO2-high-stomata closes- increased by Co2 generator - propane
3) light- high an right wavelength more energy - increased by in through day+lamps on at night
