Photsynthesis Flashcards
What is the formula
6CO2 + 12H2O light C6H12O12 + 6H2O + 6O2
Oxidized in light reactions
Water H2O
Reduced in the Calvin cycle
Carbon dioxide
Carries H and electrons from light reactions to Calvin cycle
NADPH
Food produced by photosynthesis
Glucose
Source of H and electrons in glucose
Water
Source of O atoms in glucose
Carbon dioxide
Where O atoms from water end up
Oxygen
Oxidized in Calvin cycle
NADPH
Reduced in light reactions
NADP+
Supplies energy to Calvin cycle
ATP
Where C and O atoms in carbon dioxide end up
Glucose
Recycled from Calvin cycle to make ATP
ADP + P
Supplies energy to light reactions
Light
Gas produced by reactions in the thylakoids
Oxygen
Gas consumed by reactions in the stroma
Carbon dioxide
Source of carbon fro carbon fixation
Carbon dioxide
Source of H for the Calvin cycle
NADPH
Picks up energized electrons from reactions in the thylakoids
NADP +
