(3) A - Photosynthesis Flashcards
Site of photosynthesis
Leaf ; chloroplast
Equation
(6) CO2 + (6) H20 -> C6H1206 + (6) 02
3 stages
Capture light energy - chlorophyll
LDR
LIR - Calvin cycle
Grana
Stack of thylakoids
Stroma
Fluid matrix of chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll
Chlorophyll
Light collecting pigment
Chloroplast
Organelle which contains chlorophyll
Photosystem
Chloroplast in clusters
Groups of light collecting pigments
Thylakoid
Membranes;
Stacks of thylakoid and Grana
Thylakoid contains
PS1
PS2
Carrier mols for ETC
where does LDR occur?
Thylakoid of Grana
LIR occur?
Stroma
Products of LDR
ATP, NADP - GO TO LIR & 02 (waste) used for plant respiration, Diffused into air out from leaf
Products of LIR
ATP & Glucose
Adaptations of chloroplast - Capture sunlight & perform LDR
Thylakoid membrane
Large SA for; chlorophyll El carriers & enzymes attachment for their use in LIR
NW of proteins; in Grana; hold chlorophyll in precise manner = max ☀️ absorption
Granal membranes ; enzymes attached to: make ATP
Chloroplast; contain DNA & ribosome; quick & easy man proteins for LIR
