ldr and calvin cycle Flashcards
light energy used in light dependent reaction
photon
process in which autotrophs use photons to make food
photosynthesis
two phases of photosynthesis
light dependent reaction and calvin cycle
products of LDR
ATP and NADPH
meaning of NADPH
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen
absorption peak of photosystem I
P700
absorption peak of photosystem II
P680
transfer of one or more electrons
redox reaction
two types of redox
oxidation and reduction
it uses energy from light rxn to make glucose
calvin cycle
two types of light reaction
cyclic electron flow and non cyclic electron flow
generates only ATP and uses photosystem I only
cyclic electron flow
generates O2, ATP, and NADPH and uses both photosystems I and II
non cyclic electron flow
primary electron acceptors
plastoquinone, cytochrome complex, plastocyanin, ferredoxin
powers ATP synthesis and uses both ETC and ATP synthase
chemiosmosis
