Photosynthesis, H2O +, CO2 +, 6CO2+ - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Enzyme combines CO2 with RuBP and creates G3P using ATP and electrons from NDPH
      - carbon fixation
        
        Gas to solid
        
        CO2 to G3P
    - - CO2 combines with RuBP with the help of Rubisco (carbon fixation)
      - A 3 carbon sugar is converted into G3P with the help of ATP and NADPH reduction
      - G3P exits, while the 5 others reform RuBP to continue cycle(regeneration)
      - 2G3P combine to create glucose
- - - - energy stored in ATP and NADPH
    - - Sunlight = visible light spectrum
      - the colors that you see are actually waves of light
      - Each color is a different wavelength of light energy
      - Light can either be reflected or absorbed
        
        Color you see is the color reflected
        
        color you don't see is color you absorb
      - Pigments
        
        Pigments are light trapping molecules that absorb light energy
        
        The primary pigment found in plants is chlorophyll
        
        Absorption spectrum
        
        chlorophyll a is the main pigment
        
        chlorophyll b and carotenoids are accessory pigments
        
        (helper pigments that give the energy to chlorophyll a
        
        Pigments are located in photosystem(thylakoids)
        
        There are photosystems, PS II and PS I
        
        Photosystems collect light energy and the light energizes electron from the main pigment chlorophyll
        
        These energized electrons enter the ETC
- - - - O2
- - - - ADP +
        
        NADP+
- - - - 6O2
        
        C6H12O6
