Final step of light dependant ez Flashcards
1
Q
what is chemiosmosis
A
movement of protons through ATP synthase complexes to drive photophosphorylation of ADP to ATP
2
Q
What’s the process called when you make atp in photosynthesis
A
Photophosphorylation because light is required for proton gradient
3
Q
What happens in high light environments
A
The light dependant reactions turn into cylic flow due to the mass production of NADPH resulting in accumulatino slowing down ATP production, thus system switches to cyclic flow so protons can still form a proton gradient by the movement of electrons within ETC
