photosynthesis Flashcards
photosynthesis occurs in what organelle
chloroplasts
whats a granum
stack of thylakoid
`where is chlorophyll found
thylakoid membrane
whats chlorophyll
pigment that absorbs light
what is photolysis. Is it in the light dependent or light independent cycle
break down H2O to O2, light dependent
What are two things that the light dependent rxns make
it makes NADPH and ATP
after NADPH and ATP is made in the light dependent stage what happens?
they are used to convert CO2 into glucose
the calvin cycle is in the light dependent or independent stage
light independent
where does the light independent reactions occur? what about the light dependent?
dependent: in the thylokoid of the chloroplast
independent: in the stoma of the chloroplast.
what are the two photosystems?
II=P680 (680 nm) I=P700 (700nm)
phtosystem II is used for
turning H20 to O2
where are protons being pumped in the non cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation
in the thylakoid luman
what does it mean to fixe carbon
turn inorganic to organic ( CO2 to glucose)
does fixing carbon happen in the light dependendent or independent reaction
independent
how many cycles are in calvin cycle to make 1 glucose
