Chapter 14 Flashcards
Do plant cells have cellular respiration
yuh
What type of pathway is photosynthesis?
Anabolic
Reduction reaction in photosynthesis
6CO2 -> C6H12O6 (glucose)
Oxidation reaction in photosynthesis
6H2O -> 6O2
High energy molecules in Photosynthesis
Glucose and Water
Site of light reactions
Thylakoids
site of the Calvin cycle
Stroma
What is the reducing agent used to synthesize carbohydrates from CO2
NADPH
Why is an input of ATP Required for regeneration?
to regenerate RuBP during the Calvin Cycle
What is Chlorophyll used for?
Harness E from the sun (breaks H2O molecules to use their electrons)
The function of a photosystem
convert absorbed light energy into the movement of electrons
Which photosystem comes first and why
Photosystem 2 because photosystem 1 was discovered first but photosystem 2 occurs first in the cycle
What does photosystem 1 do
splits water to retrieve electrons for ATP synthesis
What does photosystem 2 do
excited electrons to reduce NADP+
What does Photosystem 2 do
reduces NADPH to NADP+
