Exam 2 Flashcards
Photorespiration
A series of reactions in which O2 is attached to RuBP, eventually resulting in the release CO2 from the plant
Rubisco
An acronym for the enzyme ribulose-1,5 - bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
Light Reactions
Light Energy Driven
Water provides electrons and protons
Enery stored as ATP and NADPH
Dark Reactions
CO2 converted to carbohydrates
ATP and NADPH provides energy

Inner Membrane System
Sucrose
A soluble disaccharide containing a glucose and a fructose residue
Photosystem II (PSII)
Light Harvesting Complex
Reaction Center → P680
Water Splitting or Oxygen Evolving Complex
Main Products of PSII Reaction
H2O & O2
Photosystem I (PSI)
Light Harvesting Complex
Reaction Center → P700
Accepts electrons from PC
Electrons passed to ferredoxin (Fd)
Electrons in Fd donated to NADP+ at the Ferredoxin NADP Reductase Complex to produce NADPH
Main Products of PSI Reaction
NADPH
Main Substrate of PSII Reaction
H2O
Main Product of Calvin Cycle
Glucose
