photosynthesis
photorespiration
-
Photorespiration occurs when rubisco adds O2 to RuBP, releasing CO2.
-
-
C4 plants are better suited for warm and dry climates as they conserve water and prevent photorespiration.
-
-
Photosystems I and II
Captured light energy can be transferred to other molecules to produce energy intermediate molecules for cellular work
Photosystem II
-
-
Oxidizes water, generating O2 and H+
-
-
Photosystem I
Primary role to make NADPH
Addition of H+ to NADP+ contributes to H+ gradient by depleting H+ from the stroma
-
-
chloroplast
-
Majority of photosynthesis occurs internally in leaves, in the mesophyll
-
anatomy
Outer and inner membrane separated by intermembrane space
A third membrane, the thylakoid membrane contains pigment molecules
-
-
two stages
light reactions
-
-
Produce ATP, NADPH and O2
-
calvin cycle
-
- calvin cycle incorporates CO2 into carbohydrates, requiring ATP and NADPH
- the product is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which can be used to make glucose
- carbon fixation, reduction and carbohydrate production, and regeneration of RuBP.
-
Three chemical products of photosynthesis: Oxygen, NADPH, and ATP
