Photosynthesis - Coggle Diagram
Photosynthesis
As electrons are passed from PS II to PS I, H+ ions are pumped across the membrane
However, the thylakoid cell membrane contains a protein called ATP Synthase
As H+ ions diffuse through the ATP Synthase, ATP is produced
-
-
Soon, the inside of the thylakoid fills up with positively charged hydrogen ions, which creates a concentration gradient

During the CALVIN CYCLE, plants use energy, ATP, and NADPH to build high-energy compounds that can be stored

Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is chemical energy (converted as food for organisms)
The process in which green plants use energy in sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high energy carbohydrates and starches and a waste product.
-
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

Electromagnetic spectrum
Has a wide range. This has to do with the wavelengths. The distance between crest waves is called the "wavelength."
-
The shorter the wavelength, the greater energy of each photon
Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in photosynthesis, and it absorbs mostly blue and red light and reflects green and yellow light
Light behaves as though it has particles, called photons.
The reflection of green and yellow light makes plants, especially their leaves, look green.
