Dissection of PSN Flashcards
PSN equation
Light Energy+CO2+H2O—-> carbohydrates+O2
PSN occurs in the _____.
chloroplasts
Carbohydrates
primary energy source in all living organisms
Respiration
Carbohydrates+ O2—–> H2O + CO2 +energy (ATP)
Respiration occurs in the ______.
cristae and the mitochondria
Light reactions
the steps in PSN when photon energy is converted to chemical bond energy, but NO carbohydrates are formed
Photophosphorylation
forming of ATP’s in PSN
Synthesis reactions/ Light independent/ Calvin Cycle/ Dark reaction
builds CO2 into carbohydrates using ATP
Rubisco
to fix carbon dioxide and the most abundant enzyme. Used to create glucose
Synthesis Reactions occur in the _________.
stroma
Light Reactions (simplified)
oxidation- loses e-
reduction- gains e-
PSN is the oxidation of carbohydrates (releasing energy)
.
Light Reaction/chemosmosis
2 Photons+NADP+H2O—>NADPH+H+1/2 O2
Photon energy+ADP+P1—>ATP+H2O
Light Reactions occur in the ____________.
thylakoid stacks
