Chlorplast Flashcards
what light does chlorophyll A absorb
violet-blue region and they reflect
chlorophyll B
carotine (accessing pigment) traps additional light
what light does chlorophyll B absorb
blue-green and reflects yellow, orange, and red
chlorophyll A
-most common light absorbing pigment in plant and trees
first step of phase 1
light excites electrons causing a water molecule to split
Second step of phase 1
activated electrons are passed from one molecule to another molecule along the membrane
third step of phase 1
electrons get transferred to a protein called ferredoxin
fourth step of phase 1
Ferredoxin transfer electrons to the electron carrier NADP
chemiosmosis
the mechanism by which ATP is produced as a result of the flow of electrons down a concentration gradient
Breaking down of water provide _________ necessary to drive production of __________ during chemiosmosis
H+
ATP
H+ released from the water molecule start to accumulate on the interior of the membrane
creating a concentration
they will diffuse through channel
ATP synthesis
to the stoma
ATP is formed as a result
