2
Where does photosynthesis occur
In the chloroplast
Is photosynthesis light dependent ?
Yes
Creates O2 from (H2O ATP) and NADPH
Light ^energy
Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll
Light dependent, vesicle like structure
Thylakoids
Space inside the thylakoid
Lumen
Fluid-filled space between thylakoids
Stroma
In the thylakoid membrane, absorb blue/red light
Transmit green light
Chlorophyll
Absorbs photons of light
-packet of light containing energy
-wave or particle
Chlorophyll
Different energy absorbing pigment
Carotenoid
Absorbs wavelengths chlorophyll doesn’t
Carotenoids
Protect chlorophyll and others from destructive UV radiation
-sunscreen for plants
Flavonoids
What happens when pigments absorb photons ?
