1
New cards
Photosynthesis
________ involves increases and decreases in the energy of an electron as it moves from PSII through PSI to NADPH.
2
New cards
H2O
________ is split by enzymes, and the electrons are transferred from the hydrogen atoms to P680+, thus reducing it to P680.
3
New cards
Energy
________ released by the fall drives the creation of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane.
4
New cards
Diffusion of H+
________ (protons) across the membrane drives ATP synthesis.
5
New cards
Photosystem I
________ boosts the electron to an even higher energy level.
6
New cards
light harvesting complexes
The ________ (pigment molecules bound to proteins) funnel the energy of photons to the reaction center.
7
New cards
photosystem
A(n) ________ consists of a.
8
New cards
Solar
________- powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor is the first step of the light reactions.
9
New cards
PSII
Light excites the electron in ________.
10
New cards
pigment molecules
A photon hits a pigment and its energy is passed among ________ until it excites P680.
11
New cards
Cyclic electron flow
________ generates surplus ATP, satisfying the higher demand in the Calvin cycle.
12
New cards
Electron
________ on a nonexcited pigment molecule in PSII starts with the lowest energy.
13
New cards
Cyclic electron flow
________ produces ATP, but not NADPH.
14
New cards
During the light reactions, there are two possible routes for electron flow
cyclic and linear
15
New cards
Linear electron flow
the primary pathway; involves both photosystems and produces ATP and NADPH using light energy
16
New cards
Cyclic electron flow
uses only photosystem I and produces ATP, but not NADPH
17
New cards
A photosystem consists of
reaction-center complex (a type of protein complex)
surrounded by light-harvesting complexes
18
New cards
Light-harvesting complexes
pigment molecules bound to proteins; funnel the energy of photons to the reaction center
19
New cards
First step of the light reactions
Solar-powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor
20
New cards
Z Scheme
Light excites the electron in PSII
Photosystem I boosts the electron to an even higher energy level
Each electron “falls” down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS I to the protein ferredoxin (Fd)
The electrons are then transferred to NADP+ and reduce it to NADPH
The electrons of NADPH are available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle
