Sunlight
Haet and light energy (Solar radiation)
Light
Travels as a wave
Photon
bundle of em energy
Pigment
molecule that absorbs visible light
What is the most common pigment
Chlorophyll
Where is pigment located
Thylakoid
Oxidized
lose electron
reduced
gain electron
What is the first step in photosynthesis
Light Dependent reaction
What are the inputs and outputs of LDR
Light and Water, Outputs are ATP, Oxygen, NADPH
What happens when photons hit the pigment molecules
Electrons are released and enter the electron transport chain
What happens from the H+ gradient created by the ETC
ATP Synthase activates
What is the final electron acceptor at the end of ETC of PH step 1
NADP which becomes NADPH
What is the second step of Photosynthesis
The Calvin Cycle
What are the 3 substeps of the Calvin cycle
Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration
What are the input/outputs of fixation
Inputs: CO2, RuBP + RuBisCo. Outputs: 2x 3-PGA
What are the outputs/inputs of reduction
Inputs: ATP + NADPH + 2x PGA. Outputs: 2x G3P. One of these is used to produce glucose
What is the regeneration step of The Calvin Cycle
The other G3P regenerates RuBP, this step uses ATP
What are the ultimate inputs/outputs of The Calvin Cycle
Inputs: CO2, ATP, NADPH, Ouputs: G3P, after 6 cycles 1 glucose is created.
