Q

What is the chloroplast and its makings?

A

An organelle of plant cells that absorb light during photosynthesis. Consists of disc-like thylakoids that are in stacks called grana (granum). Stroma is the liquid and the chloroplast is surrounded by an inner and outer membrane

Q

Step one of Light Reactions

A

Light energy forces electrons to enter a higher energy level in the two chlorophyll a molecules of photosystem 2. Electrons are called excited. Chlorophyll A molecules have undergone oxidation. Some electrons made replaces the lost one in System 1

Q

Step 3 Of Light Reactions

A

Primary electron acceptors donate the electrons to the first series of molecules known as the electron transport chain located in the thylakoid membrane. The energy that the electrons lose from being passed on repeatedly is used to power to proton pumps. Pumps H+

Q

Step Four of the Light Reactions

A

Light is absorb in System 1 the same time as System 2. Primary electron acceptor of System 1 donates the electron to a different chain. There it is moved to the stroma and bonds with H+ to make NADPH out of NADP+

Q

Last step of Light Reactions

A

The creation of ATP through chemiosmosis. Enzyme ATP synthase harnesses the great concentration of protons build up in the thylakoid relevant to the stroma. Enzyme adds a phosphate to ADP. Energy provided by proton movement,which is harnessed.
