Q

photosystem 2

A

Photosystems are pigments embedded in proteins in the thlyakoid membrane, in system two, energy is passed to chlorphyll a and is excited then leaves chlorophyll a to the primary electron receptor then donates electrons to electon transport chain
as electrons move they lose energy

Q

C4 plants

A

Plants in hot dry climates, fix c through the c4 pathway, stomata partially closed during hittest part of the day, prevent water loss, enzyme fix CO2 into 4c compounds, calvin cycle ensues even when co2 levelis low, o2 level high—-converts CO2 into C4. Keeps stomata partially closed to keep water in.

Q

Light reactions

A

Light energy-> chemical energy atp nadph

occur in thylakoid membrane

20
Q

Calvin cycle

A

Chemical energy atp nadph -> organic compounds

occurs in stroma

21
Q

Equation of photosynthesis

A

6co2+ 6h2o _light energy -> c6h12o6 + 6o2

22
Q

Capturing light energy

A
Chloroplast light reactions
Plants, bacteria, algae
Pigments (chlorophyll a & b)
White light - all colors visible spectrum
Pigments either absorb or reflect
23
Q

Chloroplast pigments are where

A

Locate in membranes of thylakoid

24
Q

Examples of chloroplast pigments

A

Chlorophylls and carotenoids; pigments in proteins are chlorophyll

25
Q

Replacing electrons in ps2

A

Ps2 splitting of water molecules, oxygen diffuses out, h+ remain, electron to etc

26
Q

Replacing electrons in ps1

A

Electrons from ps2 to ps1

27
Q

Light reactions

A

H2o split, ps2, ps1, atp synthesis (adp plus phosphate)

28
Q

Making atp

A

Chemiosmosis, movement of protons through Atp, synthase into the stroma -> energy -> used yo produce atp

29
Q

Calvin cycle

A

Light reactions made atp and nadph, drive 2nd stage of photsynthesis, co2 INCORPORATED into organic compounds in STROMA of chloroplast, series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions, produces a three carbon sugar, converted to 5c sugar (rubp) keep cycle operating, organic compound acts as energy storage

30
Q

Factors affecting photosynthesis

A

Light, co2, h2o, temperature - as temp increases the rate of photosynthesis increases to a point and then decreases

31
Q

chemosynthesis

A

Most life on Earth is dependent upon photosynthesis, the process by which plants make energy from sunlight. However, at HYDROTHERMAL VENTS in the deep ocean a unique ecosystem has evolved in the absense of sunlight, and its source of energy is completely different: chemosynthesis.

32
Q

OIL RIG

A

OXIDATION is loss, REDUCTION IS GAIN

33
Q

biological reaction series

A

aka biological pathways (cellular respiration and photosynthesis)

34
Q

as light increases, the rate of photosynthesis

A

increases and then holds steady

35
Q

as carbon dioxide increases, the rate of potosynthesis

A

increases and then hold steady

36
Q

as temp increases, the rate of photosynthesis

A

increases to a point and then decreases

37
Q

chloroplast

A

membrane, stroma, thylakoid, lumen, grana know all parts

38
Q

photosynthesis

A

light reactions and calvin cycle

39
Q

light reactions

A

IN sunlight
OUT PS2 light excites electrons
OUT PS1 electrons make NADPH
OUT ATP Synthases ATO

40
Q

4 main processes in light reaction cycle

A

PSI, PS2, ATP Synthase and water splitting

41
Q

Calvin Cycle

A

IN 3 6carbon compounds (NADPH + ATP)
OUT 3 6carbon compounds (ADP and NADP+)
one makes a sugar and the others go back into the cycle when fused with CO2

42
Q

Photosystem 2

A

light enters the pigments and excites electrons
that move into the primary electron receptor
they continue into the electron transfer
and protons go out the thylakoid membrane

43
Q

Photosystem 1

A

takes electrons from PSII
adds more electrons get excited
in pigments they charge the NADP+
until it becomes NADPH

44
Q

ATP synthase

A

in ATP synthesis, the energy from the electrons is used to combine ADP and P+ to create ATP

45
Q

water splitting

A

uses light energy to break up H2O.
Oxygen diffuses OUT
H is stored for energy
and is moved out into the lower concentration of H in thylakoid space
