Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Thylakoid membranes
A
Folded membranes containing chlorophyll
LDR
2
Q
Stroma
A
Fluid containg enzymes
LIR
3
Q
Inner + outer membranes
A
Control what goes in and out of the cell
4
Q
Photolysis
A
Light used to split water into:
- H+ For NADP
- e- replaces e- in chlorophyll
- O2 used in respiration
5
Q
Photoionisation
A
Photon of light excites a pair of electrons
Leave chlorophyll
Move down ETC through a series of redox reactions
Energy used to make NADPH and ATP
6
Q
Chemiosmotic theory
A
Energy used to move H+ into lumen via AT
Creates electrochemical gradient
Diffuse through ATP synthase
Creates a lot of ATP from energy from H+
7
Q
Location of LIR
A
Stroma
8
Q
LIR
A
CO2 and RuBP using rubisco to make unstable 6C Split into 2x G3P 3C Reduced via 2 ATP and 2 NADPH leaves 2x TP 3C Loses 1C Reduced via ATP Leaves RuBP
