photosynthesis (chapter 8) - Coggle Diagram
photosynthesis (chapter 8)
reactions that harness light energy
photosynthetic pigments (absorption and reflection)
electron excitation
electromagnetic radiation
synthesizing carbohydrates via Calvin cycle
energy requirements (ATP, NADPH)
Product: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)
three phases: carbon fixation, reduction, regeneration
Overview of photosynthesis
biosphere power
trophic levels(autotrophs, heterotrophs, photoautotrophs)
energy capture and carbohydrate synthesis
chloroplast as site of photosynthesis
molecular features of photosystems
Electron transport chain (ETC)
ATP synthase and chemiosmosis
Photosystem I (PSI): Light-harvesting complex and reaction center (P700)
Z-scheme(electron flow and energy changes)
photosystem II(PSII): light harvesting complex and reaction center (P680)
noncyclic and cyclic electron flow
variations in photosynthess
C4 plants (minimizing photorespiration)
CAM plants (temporal separation of CO2 and Calvin cycle)
photorespiration (rubisco as oxygenase)
C3 vs C4 Plants: environmental adaptations
environmental influences (light, temperature, water, soil)
