Photosynthesis - Coggle Diagram

- - - - This reaction of green and yellow light makes plant leaves green.
    - - Clusters of pigments are embedded in the membranes of Thylakoids
        
        Thylakoids are arranged in stacks known as grana (singular granum)
        
        The thylakoid membrane organize chlorophyll into cluster known as photosystems
        
        the inside of the Thylakoid fills up with positively charged hydrogen ions, which creates a concentration gradient
        
        The thylakoid cell membrane contains a protein called ATP Synthase
        
        H+ ions diffuse through the ATP Synthase because they can not cross the membrane directly
        
        As H+ ions diffuse through the ATP synthase ATP is produced
  - - - pigments that produce yellow and orange fall leaf colors as well as colors of fruits, veggies, and flowers
- - - - The energy is transferred from pigment to pigment within the light- harvest complex until it is into the reaction center
  - - - The energy of the electron is used to pump in H+ ions into the thylakoid space. This causes a concentration gradient in the space.
        
        The electron transport chain delivers the electron to PS I. The electron is moved up to the primary acceptor of PS I.
- - - - the primary electron acceptor
- - - - ATP provides cells with the energy they need to carry out the activities of life
        
        The energy from ATP is needed for many cellular activities including: active transport across cell membranes, protein synthesis, and muscle contraction.
      - the three phosphate groups are the key to ATP's ability to store and release energy
- - - - Enzymes in the membrane use the electrons to form NADPH.
        
        NADPH is able to carry energy electrons to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell.
- - - - 3-carbon molecules are formed call G3P (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)
    - - The remaining 3-carbon are converted back into 5-carbon
      - RuBP
    - - The plant uses the sugar to meet its energy needs and to build more complex macromolecules such as cellulose
      - When other organisms eat plants, they can also use the energy stored in carbohydrates
