photosynthesis: light dependent/independent stages Flashcards
1
Q
the light dependent stages requires….
A
light
2
Q
where does the light dependent stage occur?
A
thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
3
Q
inputs of LD?
A
- Light (though not a substance)
- H2O
- ADP + Pi
- NADP+ (H+ and e- from water splitting)
4
Q
outputs of LD?
A
- O2 (note: H+ and e- which are used)
- ATP
- NADPH
5
Q
the light independent stage does not necessarily require…
A
light
6
Q
where does the light indpeendent stage occur?
A
• Occurs in the stroma
7

- NADPH
- ATP
- CO2
8
Q
outputs of LI?
A
- NADP+
- ADP + Pi
- GLUCOSE
