Photosynthesis quiz
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| H+ chemiosmosis | ATP synthase pumps H+ back across membrane using nrg of H+ movement to generate ATP (exactly how it does in cell respiration) Chlorophyll absorbs electromagnetic nrg sunlight and converts into e- excitation |
| Photosystem II | light absorbed by e- NRG transfered to plastoquinone (protein) E- replaced by H2O inside of thylakoid space -> yields O2 and h+ |
| Calvin cycle | 1) Carbon fixation CO2 + Rubisco (5-c sug) 2) Reduction ATP + NADPH consumed to prod G3P 3CO2 6ATP 6NADPH consumed 6G3P only 1 can exit cycle 3) Regenerate Rubsico 5 of 6 G3P recombine to generate rubisco, consumes 3ATP |
| Calvin cycle | ATP and NADPH carbon fixation In stroma 3 CO2 + 9ATP + 6NADPH -> G3P Take 6 turns to produce glucose |
| Light reactions | Thylakoids Sunlight present Electromagnetic nrg into chem energy (ATP and NADPH) H2O + photons of light -> ATP + NADPH + O2 Photons of light excite e- Red light absorbed best, green reflected |
| Calvin cycle | Chloroplast stroma (fluid like cytoplasm) No sunlight required Uses NADPH and ATP to build sugars from CO2 (carbon fixation) |
| Light reactions | Photosystem 2, Cytochrome B6F complex, Photosystem 1, H+ chemiosmosis |
| Photosystem I | Absorb light, yield high energy e- e- + NADP+ -> NADPH e- lost replenished by photosystem 2, accepted from Cytochrome b6f complex |
| Cytochrome b6f complex | E- transport chain Plastoquinone - e- acceptor, then transfers e- from Photosystem II to the cytochrome b6f complex Pumps H+ to thylakoid space |
| Difference between photosystem I and photosystem II | Photosystem II (PSII) is the first to act, splitting water to release oxygen and providing electrons, while Photosystem I (PSI) uses these electrons, along with more light energy, to produce NADPH |
