LESSON 3c: Photosynthesis Flashcards
-get their energy from “eating others”
-make energy through respiration
Heterotrophs (Animals)
- produce their own energy (from “self”)
- convert energy of sunlight
- build organic molecules (CHO) from CO2
- make energy & synthesize sugars through
photosynthesis
Autotrophs (Plants)
making energy & organic molecules from ingesting organic molecules
Heterotrophs
(Give the formula) glucose + oxygen —> carbon dioxide + water + energy
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
making energy & organic molecules from light energy
Autotrophs
(Give the formula) carbon + water + energy – >glucose + oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
-collect light energy
-transform it into chemical energy
-store light energy
-need to get building block atoms
from the environment
- produce all organic molecules
needed for growth

Electron Transport Chain
Light Reaction electron Acceptors
NADPH
Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food molecules into ________________________
chemical energy of ATP
ETC of Respiration use electron Carrier ___________
NADH
Chloroplasts transform________ into chemical energy of ATP
light energy
ETC of photosynthesis used electron carrier _____
NADPH
The ATP that “jack” built Photosynthesis
Sunlight
To do photosynthesis/respiration, sunlight/breakdown of Glucose allows the ff.
§ moves the electrons
§ runs the pump
§ pumps the protons
§ builds the gradient
§ drives the flow of protons
through ATP synthase
§ bonds Pi to ADP
§ generates the ATP
The ATP that “jack” built respiration is
Breakdown of Glucose (C6H12O2)
- embedded in thylakoid membrane
- arranged in a “photosystem”
- structure-function relationship
Chlorophylls & other pigments
Chlorophylls & other pigments is arrange in a _________
Photosystem
Shorter wavelength–> longer wavelength]
and
Higher energy to lower energy
-Gamma Rays > X-ray > UV > Infrared > Microwaves > Radio waves
Photosynthesis gets energy by ___________
absorbing
wavelengths of light
absorbs best in red & blue wavelengths & least in green
chlorophyll a
accessory pigments with different structures absorb light of different wavelengths
-chlorophyll b,
-carotenoids,
-xanthophylls
- collections of chlorophyll molecules
-act as light-gathering molecules
2 photosystems in thylakoid membrane
-chlorophyll a
- P680 = absorbs 680nm
wavelength red light
