AP Bio Chapter 9 Photosynthesis Part 3 Flashcards
What is a waste product of noncyclic electron flow
Oxygen, becomes a major input for aerobic cellular respiration
What’s the purpose of water in noncyclic electron flow
Water provides the replacement electrons (photolysis). This creates 4 protons and 1 molecule of oxygen for every 2 water molecules consumed
What is the path of electrons on noncyclic electron flow
Electrons move from photosystem 2 to photosystem 1 via ETC From p1 they are transferred to the enzyme NADP- reductase which uses the, to reduce NADP+ into NADPH.
What does noncyclic electron flow produce and require
Both ATP and NADH
Water
What is the pathway of an electron in cyclic electron flow
Electrons move from p1 to the ETC before returning to photosystem 1
What does cyclic electron flow produce and require
Only ATP
No required water
Why doesn’t cyclic electron flow require water
The Calvin cycle will require 9ATP and 6NADH for energy sugar produced.
