FRQ 2 Flashcards
Importance of Light-Dependent Reactions
Convert light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) and produce oxygen gas.
Input of light dependent reactions
Light, water
Output of light dependent reactions
ATP, NADPH, O2
Where do light dependent reactions occur
Occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
Importance of Photosystem II
Importance: Captures photons, oxidizes water, and pumps protons into the thylakoid space.
Reactants of photo systems ll
Light and water
Output of photosystems ll
ATP, O2
Photosystem I importance
Further energizes electrons and reduces NADP+ to NADPH.
Reactants of photosystems l
NADP+, electrons
Out put of photosystems l
NADPH
Importance of Calvin cycle
Uses ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into glucose.
Input of Calvin cycle
CO2, ATP, NADPH
Output of Calvin cycle
Glucose
Where does Calvin cycle occur
Occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts.
