Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 5 chlorophylls | a,b,c,d,e (cde abs 400-650nm) (ab abs 750nm) |
| Accessory pigments | carotenoids (blue range 400-550nm) and biliproteins (phycoerythrin 550-640nm) |
| Overall photosynthesis reaction | 6CO2+H2A--> C6H12O6+6A, ATP, NADPH, H2O balance |
| Non-cyclic photophosphorylation | e-->photosystem II (P680)-->(P680*) (pheophytin, plastiquinone,cytbcf, plastocyanin) (ATP!)->Photosystem I (P700)->(P700*)->FeS->Ferredoxin-> NADP->NADPH |
| anoxygenic photophosphorylation | GSB (P840), PSB (P870), no oxygen produced |
| Calvin Cycle | one turn adds one carbon, requires 1CO2, 3ATP, 2NADPH+H+ |
| Chitin | NAG polymer with 1,4 linkages, chitinases break down |
| 5 families of AA and their precursors | Glutamate (a-ketoglutarate), aspartate (OAA), Aromatic (PEP & erythrose-4-P) Serine (3PG), Pyruvate (5phosphoribosylpyrophosphate) |
