Q

Light stage

A

Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll molecule
Passes though pigments of molecules to reaction center in chlorophyll
Electrons become energized + leave the chlorophyll molecule
Energized electrons enter 2 pathways

16
Q

Pathway 1

A

Energized electrons are passes along an electron acceptor
Loses energy along the way
This lost energy is combined with ADP + P = atp

17
Q

Another name for pathway 1

A

Cyclic photophosphorylation

18
Q

Pathway 2

A

2 energized electrons trapped by NADP+ form NADP-
Photolysis occurs
ATP made
Electrons lose some energy (doesn’t return)
These electrons join onto NADP+ and a proton to form NADPH

19
Q

Photolysis

A

Light energy splits water into protons, electrons and oxygen

20
Q

ATP

A

Provides energy for the convention of co2 into carbohydrates

21
Q

NADPH

A

Supplies h+ ions and ejections which are used in the dark stage

22
Q

Dark stage is controlled by

A

Enzymes

23
Q

What is important about the plant in dark stage

A

It has optimum pH and temperature

24
Q

Where does the dark stage occur

A

Chloroplast

25
Q

NADPH is

A

Electrons and protons
