Photosynthesis (LID) Flashcards
1
Q
what does the light in-dependant reaction use?
and what does it form?
A
Reduced NADP from the light dependant reaction to form a simple sugar
2
Q
What does the hydrolysis of ATP from the light-dependant reaction do?
A
Provides additional energy for this reaction
3
Q
In the light-dependant reaction carbon dioxide reacts with what to form what?
What is the reaction catalysed by?
A
- Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
- to form a two molecule of glycerate 3- phosphate (GP)
- catalysed by the enzyme rubisco
4
Q
What is used to reduced GP to triose phosphate ?
A
ATP and reduced NADP from the light-dependant reaction
5
Q
Some of the triose phosphate is used to regenerate what?
A
RuBP in the Calvin cycle
6
Q
What is some of the triose phosphate converted to?
A
useful organic substances
