photosynthesis
Cards in this deck (17)
- 1photosynthesisconverts electromagnetic energy to chemical energy
- 2calvin cycle reactions (light independent)produce sugar from CO2, electrons and ATP are used to reduce O2
- 3light capturing reactionsproduce O2 from H2O, water is split to form O2
- 4thylakoidinterior of chloroplast filled with flattened, vessel-like structures
- 5granastacks of thylakoids
- 6lumenspace inside of thylakoids
- 7stromafluid filled space between thylakoids
- 8chlorophyllreflects green light, absorbs red and blue light
- 9carotenoidsabsorb blue and green light, reflect yellow, red, and orange light; absorb light and pass energy to chlorophyll
- 10photosystemsthylakoid membrane and accessory pigments
- 11antenna pigmentswhen protons are absorbed the energy is passed to nearby chlorophyll
- 12photosystem IIuses light energy to split water molecules, releasing oxygen as a byproduct while transferring electrons to the ETC; outputs electrons on QH2
- 13photosystem Icaptures light energy and transfers electrons, contributing to production of NADPH
- 14z scheme modelelectron transfer of light capturing reactions during photosynthesis
- 15calvin cycleoccurs in the stroma, CO2 is fixed onto a 5 carbon sugar which is split into two 3 carbon sugars; ATP and NADPH are used to synthesis G3P
- 16carbon fixationaddition of carbon atoms from inorganic CO2 to organic compounds
- 17rubiscomost abundant protein, found in all photosynthetic organisms that preform the calvin cycle
