Chapter 6 Flashcards
P/S takes ___________ coverts it to ___________ as sugar
Light energy
Potential energy
Chemical summary of P/S
6CO2 + 12 H2O + light energy = 2(C3H6O3) + 6 H2O + 6O2
Two phases of P/S
Light dependant- light capture
Light independant- caron fixation
3 steps of light dependant aka
3 reactions
Light is absorbed by pigments
Light energy electrons is transported ETC
Products are made ( ATP NADPH) O2 by product
Groups of light absorbing pigments gathered together is a (cluster of several hundred)
Photosystem
Pigment used in P/S
Chlorophyll
Any chemical that can absorb photos of light.
Pigment
Where do electrons gather to be ejected
Reaction Center
ETC lose energy as they trans port e- and create
ATP + NADPH
When is oxygen made
At the end of light capture phase
What is the light Independent phase aka
Carbon fixation
Calvin cycle
Sugar making
In the light Independent phase CO2 is used to build
Sugar
How are electrons replenished after they leave photo system
They are taken from water. hydrogen protons H+ and O2 are released
What is G3P
Glyceraldehyde three phosphate
Is the endpoint of P/S.
What are the three phases of the Calvin Cycle
Carbon up take
Reduction
Regeneration
