Q

across angiosperms, there is a great diversity in stoma in terms of:

shape, size, number, density, position on leaf (upper vs lower surface), and structure
- e.g. some species, leaf stoma are sunken into ‘stomal crypts’; these are cavities that create a region of nonmoving air

A

down a gradient of pigments that have absorption maxima that are progressively shifted toward longer, less energetic wavelengths, finally arriving at the reaction center

A
  1. This shift of absorption maxima means that lower-energy pigments are closer to the reaction center than higher-energy pigments
  2. This energy gradient ensures that excitation transfer toward the reaction center is energetically favorable
  3. Thus, it is more energetically favorable for the reaction center to absorb at longer wavelengths (680-700 nm)

A

OEC (oxygen evolving complex)

132
Q

Electrons are not lost directly from what to PSII? Where instead?

A

Not lost from water; lost from OEC core

133
Q

Each electron lost from the OEC core to PSII increases what?

A

molecular tension on the two bound water molecules

134
Q

After a _ electron is donated, the stress reaches a maximum

A

4th

135
Q

When the core reaches maximum molecular tension, it causes:

A
  • both water molecules to be split
  • 4 electrons produced replace those previously lost by the OEC core
  • tension in the core dissipates
  • 2 new water molecules enter the core and bind… process repeats
136
Q

Water splitting

A

photolysis in the OEC

137
Q

Water splitting steps

A
  1. 4 e- go to OEC core to replace those lost to PSII
  2. 4H+ stay in lumen of chloroplast (helps create a gradient used to make ATP)
138
Q

Water splitting equation

A

2 H2O -> 4H+ + 4e- + O2

139
Q

What happens to the energized electrons that leave PSII?

A

‘Mobile’ electron carriers in membrane (phaeophytin (Ph) then plastoquinone (PQ) transfer electrons via energetically favorable re-dox reactions to the Cytochrome b6 /f complex

140
Q
  • catalyzes the transfer of electrons from PQ to mobile carrier plastocyanin (PC)
  • Uses energy lost by electron transfer to pump a proton (H+) to the lumen from the stroma (joining those produced by splitting water)
A

Cytochrome b6/f complex

141
Q

What transfers the electron to the reaction center special pair of chlorophyll A in PSI?

A

PC

142
Q

The electron receives a what?

A

second boost of energy harvested by the PSI antenna complex

143
Q

The electron is then passed from the R.C. of PSI to a cluster of what?

A

iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, incl. Ferrodoxin [Fd]

144
Q

Fd transfers electrons to NADP+ in stroma with help of the enzyme _

A

FNR [ferrodoxin-NADP+ reductase]

145
Q

Reduction of NADP+ by electrons

A

NADP+ + 2e- + H+ ———–> NADPH
(low energy) (PSI) (stroma) (high energy)

146
Q

Powerful reducing agent

A

NADPH

147
Q
  • referred to as “non-cyclic electron flow”
  • this path is also referred to as the ‘Z-Scheme’
A

flow of electrons

148
Q

The light reactions result in what?

A

protons accumulating in the thylakoid lumen

149
Q

Light reaction steps/parts:

A

1) Splitting of 2H2O ➔ 4H+
2) E.T.C. of every 4 e- ➔ 8 H+ (via Cytb6f in PSII)

150
Q

Each pair of water molecules is responsible for the addition of _ to the lumen

A

12H+
- creates strong pH gradient across the thylakoid membranes

151
Q

The pH/proton gradient is used to do what?

A

molecular work

152
Q

H+ accumulation creates an electrochemical proton gradient, a source of what?

A

potential energy

153
Q

The thylakoid membrane is impermeable to what?

A

H+

154
Q

Instead, protons pass through what?

A

membrane bound channel to produce ATP

155
Q

ATP production via what?

A

chemiosmotic coupling (oxidative phosphorylation)

156
Q

Protons pass through an ATP synthase complex located in the thylakoid:

A
  • Protons pass from lumen to
    stroma dissipating the gradient
  • Protons passing through the
    ATP synthase complex provides
    the energy to produce ATP
157
Q

Each split pair of water molecules produce how many ATP?

A

3-4 ATP
