Most of the mass of any organism, including humans, is made of C captured by photosynthesis. Where do plants get this C?
The atmosphere (Carbon)
Why are plants green?
Their photosynthesis pigments do not absorb green light
Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur?
The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts or cyanobacteria
The Calvin cycle
Uses energy (ATP and NADPH) and CO2 to construct bio molecules
Where does the Calvin cycle occur?
The storma of chloroplasts or cyanobacteria
ATP synthase in photosynthesis
Is powered by a proton gradient resulting from the splitting of water
C4 photosynthesis and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are both adaptions that
reduce water loss by plants
What are the two steps of photosynthesis?
Light-dependent reactions and carbon fixation
The necessary proteins and pigments are embedded where?
Thylakoid membrane
What are the discrete packets of light called?
Photons
What is the major pigment in green chloroplasts
Chlorophyll
First complex of pigments and proteins in a series
Photosystem II
