Chapter 6 -3 Flashcards
1
Q
What happens in light harvesting complexes?
A
pigments capture solar energy
2
Q
What happens in the reaction center?
A
2 chlorophyll a
e’s excited by photon energy
3
Q
Where does the Calvin cycle occur?
A
in stroma
4
Q
What do light dependent reactions involve?
A
electron flow and ATP formation
5
Q
What happens in the noncyclic pathway?
A
electron is not returned and ATP & NADPH is produced
6
Q
What happens in the cyclic pathway?
A
electron is returned
7
Q
Overall what do light harvesting pigments do?
A
Absorb photons and transfer energy to P680
8
Q
What does PSII trigger?
A
H+ accumulation and ATP production
9
Q
What does PSI result in?
A
NADPH production
10
Q
What happens in the Cyclic Electron Flow?
A
Involves only PSI
Produces only ATP
