LDR Flashcards
chlorophyll adaptations
- thlyakoid: SA
- proteins hold chlorophyll for max absorption
- DNA + ribosomes
where does the ldr take place
thylakoid
1: photoionisation
light enters photoionisation
electrons move to a higher energy level
released to the PSI
2: photolysis
replace electrons
H2O -> 2H+ + 0.5O2 + 2e-
uses energy from light
3: transport chain
electrons move down transport chain and lose energy
this energy transports H+
4: chemiosmosis
H+ diffuse into stroma
through ATP synthase
ATP synthesis
5: NADP
light enters PSI
excites electrons
electrons transferred to NADP and H from stroma
6: cyclic phosphorylation
produces ATP
passed back to PSI via electron carriers
not passed onto NADP
LDR steps
photoionisation
photolysis
transport chain
chemiosmosis
NADP
cyclic phosphorylation
LDR MS
chlorophyll absorb light energy
excited electrons released
electrons move along carriers and release energy
energy used to ATP and Pi to form ATP
photolysis of water produces H+, e-, O2
NADP reduced by electrons and H+
