Their photosynthesis pigments do not absorb green light

3
New cards

Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur?

The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts or cyanobacteria

New cards

The Calvin cycle

Uses energy (ATP and NADPH) and CO2 to construct bio molecules

5
New cards

Where does the Calvin cycle occur?

The storma of chloroplasts or cyanobacteria

New cards

ATP synthase in photosynthesis

Is powered by a proton gradient resulting from the splitting of water

7
New cards

C4 photosynthesis and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are both adaptions that

reduce water loss by plants
