AP Bio: Unit 3 | Photosynthesis Part 1

carbon dioxide is

reduced to glucose

water is

oxidized to oxygen

reduction

to gain electrons

oxidation

to lose electrons

autotrophs

producers

autotroph examples

plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria

light dependent reactions

in the thylakoid discs

grana

stacks of thylakoid discs

photosystems

clusters of chlorophyll pigments

location of calvin cycle

in the stroma

light dependant reaction inputs

water, sunlight E, ADP+P, NADP+

light dependant reaction outputs

NADPH, ATP, oxygen

calvin cycle inputs

ATP, NADPH, CO2

calvin cycle outputs

ADP+P, NADP+, glucose

photosystem location

embedded in the thylakoid membrane

location where water is split

thylakoid space

carotenoids

yellows, oranges

anthocyanins

reds

electron transport chain structure and location

series of proteins in the thylakoid membrane

water is split into

protons, electrons, oxygen

oxygen location after water is split

released as waste

photosystem II

where electrons first absorb sunlight energy

electron transport chain function

where electrons from photosystem II release energy to build ATP

photosystem I

where electrons absorb sunlight energy for the second time

NADPH

made when high energy electrons, hydrogen ions, and NADP+ combine

photophosphorylation

electrons from photosystem II drive the creation of ATP on the electron transport chain
