27
Q

What is a photo system? What does it consist of?

A

A phtosystem is a complex that absorbs solar energy via a pigment complex and high energy electrons are generated.

A pigment complex and electron acceptor

28
Q

Where do photosystems occur?

A

Thylakoid membrane

29
Q

In photosystem II electrons are passed from one pigment to another until they are concentrated where?

A

A pair of chlorophyll a molecules called Reaction Centers

30
Q

Electrons become so energetic that they leave the reaction center and move where?

A

Electron Acceptor Molecules

31
Q

Describe Photosystem II.

Inputs
Outputs

A

Phtosystem concentrates the light energy into a Reaction Center

Causing release of high energy electrons which is taken in an Electron Acceptor

Passed to Electron Transport Chain

Inputs: Water, Co², Sunlight, ADP + P

Outputs: ATP and Oxygen

32
Q

Describe Photosystem I

Inputs

Outputs

A

Sunlight is collected by Photosystems and Electrons are relased

These Electrons are used to Reduce
NADP+ to NADPH

Inputs: Electrons, Light, NADP+ H+

Outputs NADPH

Outputs: ATP and Oxygen

33
Q

Why doesn’t Photosystem II lose all its Electrons?

A

Photolysis breaks H2O into available electrons and produces Oxygen as a side affect

34
Q

What happens to the products of the light cycle? What are they?
Is the light dependant reactions Endergonic or Exergonic?

A

They are used to give energy for the Calvin Cycle.

ATP and NADPH

Exergonic

35
Q

Which cycle is NADP+ found in

A

Light dependant cycle

36
Q
