Chapter 8, Light Dependent Reaction (slides 31-46) Flashcards
Two major processes of photosynthesis reactions
- light dependent (energy-transduction)
- light independent (Carbon-fixation reactions)
Light-dependent reaction have to do with
energy transfer
In a light-independent reaction,
CO2 fixed to OR enzymatically combined with OR covalently bonded with RuBP
Photolysis is process of
water molecules getting split
Parts to light-dependent reactions are…(4)
- Noncyclic photophosphorylation
- Photolysis
- Chemiosmosis
- Cyclic Photophosphorylation
Noncyclic photophosphorylation
energy/electron transfer –> NADPH
Photolysis
splitting water
Chemiosmosis
making ATP
Cyclic Photophosphorylation
energy/electron transfer
Formula for light-dependent reaction
Water + Light –> NADPH + Oxygen + ATP
General step 1 of light-dependent reactions
- Light hits photosystem 1
- Transfers energy in photon to electron in one of pigment molecules
(Step 1) electron are energized by energy being passed to _____
P700
(Step 1) The P700 is the _______ ______
reaction center
(Step 1) Reaction center passes electrons to ________ then ______ _______
Feridoxin then NADP+ Reductase
(Step 1) NADP+ reduces it to _____
NADPH
(Step 1) One problem is that…
photosystem 1 will eventually run out of electrons and shut down
General Step 2 of light-dependent reactions
- light hits photosystem 2, transferring energy in photon to electron in pigment
(Step 2) Energy passed to _____
P680
(Step 2) The P680 is the ______ _____
reaction center
