C4 and CAM plants Flashcards
P680
PS2
ATP ? where H+ ions pass thru
synthase
“waste product” of synthesis
oxygen
product of light-dependent reaction
NADPH
forms due to the buildup of H+ ions in the thylakoid space
electrochemical gradient
enzyme involved carbon fixation
rubisco
primary electron acceptor
pheophytin
splitting of water
photolysis
proponent of light-independent reaction
Calvin
P700
PS1
a stack of thylakoid
granum
needs two G3P
glucose
needs to be fixed
CO2
site of light-dep reaction
thylakoid
copper-containing protein in ETC
plastocyanin
reflects green light
chlorophyll
5-C carbon sugar where CO2 are attached
RUBP
absorbs light energy
pigment
needs one cycle to produce one
G3P
high-energy molecule
ATP
converting CO2 into metabolically active organic compound
fixation
the flow of hydrogen ions through ATP synthase
chemiosmosis
EM interaction while transferring energy pigments to pigments
resonance energy
series of protein
ETC
used two electrons from NADPH
reduction
forms after 6-carbon intermediate split
3-PGA
released as electrons passes thru ETC
free energy
PS1 ETC
ferredoxin
electron bumped to highest energy orbital
excited
quantity or “packet” of light energy
photon
where NADPH and ATP are released
stroma
