Photosynthesis Flashcards
what wavelengths do plants absorb
those in the visible light spectrum
what is chloroplast structure
-Double membrane
-Thylakoid sacs are sites of photosynthesis
what are the inputs of light reactions
Light, water, NADP+, ADP + P
what are the outputs of light reactions
Oxygen, hydrogen, ATP, NADPH
what is the energy from the sun converted into in light reactions
chemical energy (ATP and NADPH)
what is released in light reactions
Oxygen gas is released as a byproduct (from the splitting of water)
where do light reactions happen
in the thylakoid (thylakoid space)
what does water donate in light reactions
electrons to and protons via photolysis (splitting of water by light energy)
what are the inputs of the calvin cycle
ATP, NADPH, Carbon dioxide
what are the outputs of the calvin cycle
Sugar! ADP + P, NADP+
