Sun (energy) shines on Earth - Coggle Diagram

- - - - there are two parts
        
        Light reactions
        
        Occur in the thylakoid and require water and light
        
        Light energy is absorbed by Chlorophyll in Photosystem II and transfers the energy to 16. Electrons
        
        Electrons from PSII move down an 17. Electron transport chain
        
        H+ is pumped into the thylakoid, H+ leaves through 2. ATP Synthase
        
        Calvin Cycle reactions
        
        Occurs in the 31. Stroma
        
        The first reaction in the cycle is catalyzed by an enzyme called 29. RuBP carboxylase (Rubisco)
        
        Calvin cycle reactions produce 8. Carbohydrates
      - Photosynthesis is an 23. Oxidation-28.Reduction reaction
        Water is oxidized (loses electrons) and Carbon dioxide id reduced (gains electrons)
      - Gas exchange takes place in microscopic holes in the leaves called 30. Stomata
      - Chloroplasts have stacks of membrane called 33. Thylakoids
        
        A stack of thylakoids is called a 19. Granum
  - - - There are Major pigments and minor pigments
        
        Major pigments include 13. Chlorophyll a
        
        Minor pigments include 13. Chlorophyll b and 11. Carotenoid
