Light Reactions Flashcards
what are chloroplasts for?
genes encode for proteins in photosynthesis
how does chloroplast rise from?
pre-existing chloroplasts thru fission
how many membranes does chloroplasts have?
3
what are the 3 membranes of chloroplasts?
- outer membrane
- inner membrane
- thylakoid membrane
What are the features of outer membrane?
- relatively permeable
- contain porins
What are the features of inner membrane?
- highly permeable
- require transporters
What are the features of thylakoid membrane?
- site of light reactions
- contain intergral proteins
- contain pigments
what are the two different functional units of plant chloroplasts in light energy conversion into chemical energy?
photosystems I (P700)
photosystems II (P680)
Where are the photosystems located?
thylakoid membrane
what are the feature of photosystem II?
absorbs @ shorter and more energetic wavelength
What are is the order of photosystem
start with photosystem II then photosystem I
What is the structure of photosynthetic apparatus , what are the four protein complexes?
- Photosystem II
- Cytochrome b6f complex
- photosystem I
- ATP synthase
What do the four protein complexes have?
vectorial arrangement
What are the two mobile carriers?
- plastoquinone
- plastocyanin
what are stroma lamellae?
unstacked
What are grana lamellae?
stacked
What are the structure of PSII photosystem?
stacked regions
What are the PSI photosystem/ETC Proteins/ ATP Synthase structure?
unstacked regions
What are cyt b6f structure?
even distributed
Where are is the ATP synthase?
unstacked stroma lamellae
