New cards

overall goals

capture light energy and store in chemical bonds

3
New cards

Carbon fixation

Convert inorganic carbon to organic carbon, reduce CO2 to glucose

4
New cards

light dependent

requires light, converts photo energy to chemical energy, uses sunlight and water to make ATP, NADPH, and O2

5
New cards

light dependent

Calvin cycle, to make sugars, uses ATP, NADPH, and CO2 to make glucose

6
New cards

light travels as

photon waves

long wavelength

740 nm (red light)

8
New cards

short wavelengths

400 nm blue light higher energy

9
New cards

light dependent reaction

occurs in thylakoid membrane, harvest light energy, by product of splitting water (O2)
