Bio 141 Notes (3/13/14) Flashcards
Light Reactions
plants do not absorb green
generate energy to pass to the Calvin cycle
Calvin Cycle
carbon fixation
Light captures via ?
photosystem
What is important to photosynthesis
membranes
Photosystems are made of…
Proteins and Pigments
excited eletrons pass through an ____________ that sets up a proton gradient
electron support chain
An electron is excited again in Photosystem __ and then used to make _______
1
NADPH
What picks up the electron
NADP+
what is the result of picking up electrons
NADPH
Photosystems II
P680
water coming in and splitting
Photosystem I
P700
start with electrons
ends with electrons being picked up by NADP+
Non-Cyclic Electron Transport
savings- water
H2O - O2
Cyclic Electron Transport
can back ATP
allows continuous generation of ATP
goes back to electron transport chain
Calvin cycle requires ___ more ATP than ____
1.5x
NADPH
Calvin Cycle
once called ‘Dark reactions’
light independent
takes place in stroma (open chloroplast interior)
using energy from light reactions - incorporate carbon from CO2 into sugar
energy transferred to carbon-containing molecules
- phosphorylation by ATP and reduction by NADPH
every ‘turn’, two 3-C molecules exit and sic 1-C molecules enter
