Energy: ATP
Photosynthesis
- Autotrophic organisms make organic compounds from Carbon Dioxide. They rely on Photosynthesis.
- Light Dependent Reaction
- Electron Transport Chain
- Makes ATP.
- Aims: 1) Produce ATP. 2) Photolysis of Water
- 1. A photon of light hits a chlorophyll molecule. Energy is transferred to the electrons.
- 2. Electrons excited: Raised to higher energy level
- 3.Leaves Chlorophyll molecule immediately
- 4. Picked up by an electron carrier/acceptor. Through a series of redox reactions and moving down acceptors at different energy levels, energy is then released to help form ADP+Pi--->ATP
- 5.NADP then picks up the electron, becoming reduced NADP
- Reduced NADP
- 6. The Chlorophyll now needs to be restocked of electrons, so photolysis of water occurs.
- Photolysis
- 4OH- - 4e- (lost to chlorophyll) ---> O2 + 2H2O
- Oxygen
- 4OH- - 4e- (lost to chlorophyll) ---> O2 + 2H2O

- 3.Leaves Chlorophyll molecule immediately
- 2. Electrons excited: Raised to higher energy level
- Occurs in Thylakoid
- Electron Transport Chain
- Light Independent Reaction
- Calvin Cycle
- Occurs in the Stroma
- 6CO2+6H20---->C6H12O2+6O2
Needed for life
- Consisting of an Adenine base, ribose sugar and triphosphate. Each bond between the phosphates is broken to release energy through a hydrolysis reaction. This is catalysed by ATPase. ADP is then formed and a free inorganic phosphate. It is a reversible reaction.
