Photosynthesis Flashcards
What is NADP
A co enzyme that carries H
What is required for light dependent reactions and what is released
H2O required
02 released
What is required for light independent reactions and what is released
CO2 required
Glucose released
How large is a chloroplast
2-10 micrometers
Proof of endosymbiotic theory
Double membrane
DNA
70s ribosomes
What is found in the stroma
Granum
Lipid droplets
Starch grains
Two types of chlorophyl A
P700
P680
Z scheme
Shows energy levels of electrons
What photo systems partake in cyclic phosphorylation
P1
Photolysis
2H2O > 4H+ O2
In the presence of oxygen evolving complex
Why is there a concentration gradient of hydrogen in the thylakoids
Energy of electrons in ETC is used to pump hydrogen ions from the stroma to the thylakoid
What are electron carriers
Proteins in the membrane, often contain iron
Chemiosmosis
Using hydrogen gradient to spin ATP synthase and make ATP
What happens to the Calvin cycle in the dark
Gp increases
TP and RuBP decrease
Calvin cycle
CO2 is added to RuBP with the help of rubisco to make 2GP reduced NADP and ATP are used up to convert GP into TP and some is used to make glucose some is used to restore RuBP
