photosynthesis

granum

-stack of thylakoids

Thylakoid

-saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplast

Chloroplast

-an organelle found in plants and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs

stroma

-fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids

Photosystem 1 (PS1)

-a light capturing enzyme in the thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast; reduces NADP+ to NADPH

Phtotosystem 2 (PS2)

-a light capturing enzyme in the thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast; splits water into electrons,protons,and oxygen gas

ATP synthase

-enzyme that catalyzez the reaction that adds a high-energy phosphate group to ADP to form ATP

Rubisco

-The most abundant enzyme on earth. Preforms Carbon Fixation in the Calvin Cycle

endergonic reaction

-reaction that absorbs free energy from its surroundings

exergonic reaction

-a chemical reaction that releases energy

stomata(stoma)

-small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move

calvin cycle reactants

-CO2, ATP, NADPH

light reaction reactants

-Light and H2O

light independant alternate name-

Calvin cycle

GP3(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)

-the carbohydrate produced directly from the calvin cycle

ATP in photosynthesis

-produced in stroma by ATP synthase using H+ electrochemical gradient

Chlorophyll reflects what color

-green light

water in photo synthesis

-reactant split to begin the light dependent reaction

NADP+

-in phototsynthesis, the major electron carrier involved in the electron transport
