Q

What is the process of Photoexcitation and Photolysis

A
  • Excites electrons of the electron carriers from using the photon that was ammited by the Light Energy
  • The energy from light photon are use to split water to oxygen which releases more energy

Q

Thylakoid Proteins: Photosystem 2

P680

A
  • Occurs first
  • PS@ absorb Light
  • Excited electron go in the reaction centre chlorophyll and is captured by the Primary Electron Accepter (PEA)
  • P680 loses an electron and now it will be oxidized (P680+)

Q

Thylakoid Proteins: Plastquinone (Pq)

A
  • Helps the Primary Electron Accepter (PEA) to travel through ETC
  • Electron -> plastiquions
  • Since it is mobile, helps transfer that electron to the next complex

Q

Thylakoid Proteins: Cytochrome Complex

A
  • The Pq helps transfer the electron from PS2 to Cytochrome Complex
  • While that is happening, the proton from the stroma are pumped agains its concentration gradient and into Lumen
  • Those Proton will later be used to synthesis ATP in ATP synthesis step

Q

Thylakoid Proteine: Plastocyanin (Pc)

A
  • Electron form Cytochrome Complex is transferred through the use of Plastocyanin
  • This Pc is located on the lumen side of the Thylakoid membrane

Q

Thylakoid Proteine: Photosystem 2 (PS1)(P700)

A
  • Another ETC occurs where this system takes the light photon form surrounding and uses it to excite electrons
  • This excited electron is captured by PEA and is send to the next stage leaving the system (PS1) oxidized
  • But the Pc that carried the electron will donate its electron to PS1 so it could go back to being neutral
17
Q

Thylakoid Proteine: Ferradoxin (Fd)

A
  • The PEA is now transferred to a mobile proton called Ferradoxin (Fd)
  • Ferradoxin is on the Stroma side
  • Carries the PEA to the next complex
18
Q

Thylakoid Proteine: NADP+ Reductase

A
  • NADP+ Reductase is an enzyme
  • The ferrodoxin helps transfer its electron to NADP+ reductase which helps put electron to the final electron accepter NADP+
  • NADP+ —> Reduced to NADPH
19
Q

What is the Purpose of NADPH

A

-NADPH will provide reducing power for the making of sugar in Calvin Cycle

20
Q

How does PH2 replace its lost electron?

A
  • we know that PS2 is a strong oxidizer
  • Electron from water (located in Lumen)is excited and they break
  • Those electron are used to help PH2 to become neutral form PH2+
21
Q

Thylakoid Proteins: ATP Synthase

A
  • Protons that were pumped through the stroma to the lumen in cytochrome complex and the protons that were created when replacing the lost electron in PS2 are used
  • ATP synthase uses those proton to pump them into it self like the Cellular Respiration
  • ATP is produced in the stroma
