Photosynthesis evolved in
Prokaryotic organisms
Cyanobacterial photosynthesis was responsible for
Production of oxygenated atmosphere
Photosynthesis equations
6co2+ 6H20-c6h1206+ 602
Two primary steps of photosynthesis
Light reaction and Calvin cycle reaction ( dark reaction )
Light reaction happens in
Thylakoid
Light reaction helps facilitate
ATP Synthesis
Light reaction pigments absorb
Light energy
Light reaction transfer
High energy electrons
Light reaction water spit
To replace the high energy electrons 02 released
Dark reactions happen in
Stroma
Dark reaction atp and nadph
Used and turn co2 into carbs
Dark reaction nadp+ , ADP produced are
Recycled
Chlorophyll’s absorb energy form and capture what and convert into what
Absorb energy from light and capture energy form sun convert to high energy electrons
What happens to chlorophyll electrons when light absorption occurs and what’s the importance
Electrons energized energy form electrons used to establish a proton gradient and reduce nadp+ to nadph
Photo system
Light capturing unit in chloroplast thylakoid membrane
