Thylakoid
Single unit of chloroplasts
Granum
Stack of thylakoids
Lamella
Connectors between granum
Mediums
Stroma is in chloroplasts
Lumen is in thylakoids
Matrix is in Mitochondria
Reaction types in photosynthesis
Light dependant and light independent reactions
Stages of light dependant reaction
- Photolysis of water
- Electrons attracted to PS2
- Photon hits electrons again
- Charged electron moves across ETC to PS1
- Energy released by ETC pumps H+ inside
- Another photon hits electrons
- Charged electrons are attracted to NADP+ making NADPH
- H+ leaks through ATP complex to make ATP with ADP and P
Terminology of light dependant
PS2 PS1 Thylakoid membrane Stroma Lumen ATP Synthase Complex
Light independent reaction/Calvin-Bensen Cycle
Phase 1: Carbon Fixation
3 CO2 enters cycle and mixes with 3 RuBP (5c). Creates 6 PGA (3c).
Phase 2: Reduction
The PGA is energized with 6 ATP and 6 NADPH to turn it into 6 PGAL (3c). 1 PGAL leaves cycle to turn into glucose.
Phase 3: Regeneration
5 PGAL are powered up by 3 ATP and turn into 3 RuBP, continuing the cycle.
How many times does the Calvin-Bensen cycle have to go to make one glucose?
Twice, because 2 PGAL = 1 Glucose
What is the energy cost to make one glucose in photosynthesis?
18 ATP and 12 NADPH
What is the input and output in LD Reactions?
Input: 6 H2O, photons
Output: 6 Oxygen (from H2O photolysis), ATP, NADPH
Inputs and Outputs for LI Reactions?
Input: 6 CO2, ATP, NADPH
Output: PGAL/G3P (glyceraldohide 3 phosphate).
Two types of cellular respiration?
Aerobic and Anaerobic
Stages of Aerobic Respiration
Stage 1: Glycolysis
Stage 2: Pyruvate Oxidation
Stage 3: Krebs Cycle
Stage 4: Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Chain and Chemiosmosis)
Stages for Anaerobic Respiration?
Step 1: Glycolysis
Step 2: Fermentation
