Jan 27 Notes Flashcards
How are activated electrons transported across the membrane
Passed from one molecule to another
Electrons get transferred to a protein called
Ferrodoxin
Ferrodoxin transfers electrons to the electron carrier NADP+ , forming
the energy-storing molecule NADPH
The mechanism by which ATP is produced as a result of the flow of electron down a concentration gradient
Chemiosmosis
Breaking down of water provides H+ which is necessary to
Drive production of ATP during Chemiosmosis
H+ released from the water molecule start to accumulate on the interior of the membrane causing
The creation of a concentration gradient
How is ATP formed
Concentration gradient diffusing through channels (ATP synthase) to the Stroma
Phase one takes place in
The thylakoids
Is phase one light dependent
Yes
After NADPH and ATP are produced, where are they used
Phase 2
What happens to water molecules in phase one?
They split, releasing an electron into the electron transport
