6CO2+6H2O—>
6O2+C6H12O6
structure of the chloroplast
Membrane bound. Contains flattened membrane bound sacs known as thylakoids. A stack of thylakoids is called a granum
Where do light dependant reactions occur
In the thylakoid membrane
Where do light independent (c.b cycle, dark) reaction occur
The stroma
Imputs of LD reaction
Sunlight, water, ADP+Pi, NADP+
What does photo system 2 produce
ATP and 02
What does photosystem 1 produce
ATP and NADPH
LI reactions imput
ATP,NADPH,CO2
LD reaction produces…
PGAL→glucose, ADP+ Pi, NADP+
light waves: the greater the wave…
The less energetic the wave is
Blue and red wavelengths are
Absorbed and used to drive LD reactions
Green wavelengths are…
Reflected which gives chlorophyll its green colour
When chlorophyll absorbs light…
An electron is excited to a higher energy level. The electron is unstable and falls back down, releasing energy
What happens to chlorophyll when the primary electron acceptor traps an electron
Chlorophyll is oxidized and the e- acceptor is reduced
Wave lengths of the photosystems
PS1: 700nm PS2: 680nm
Which PS does Cyclic electron flow use
PS1
Steps of cyclic electron flow
Non cyclic electron flow uses
PS1 and PS2
Steps of non cyclic flow
The three stages of dark reaction
Co2 is fixed to RuBP which forms an unstable 6c molecule
The 6c molecule splits into two 3c molecules called PGA
PGA uses ATP as an energy source to remove hydrogen from NADPH, a new molecule (PGAL) is formed
Fates of PGAL
Used as an energy source
Combine with other PGAL to form glucose
Recycled to replenish RuBP
How many turns of the Calvin benson cycle does it take to produce 1 molecule of PGAL
3 turns (1CO2 used in each cycle)
What happens to the other 5 molecules of PGAL
Recycled to produce RuBP
How many turns of the Calvin benson cycle does it take to produce 1 glucose molecule
6 turns
