1
New cards

What does the light-harvesting complex do?

Captures light and funnels energy to the reaction center

2
New cards

What pigment is central to the reaction center?

Chlorophyll a

3
New cards

. What happens to the excited electron in the reaction center?

It is transferred to the primary electron acceptor

4
New cards

How is the lost electron in PSII replaced?

By splitting water (photolysis)

5
New cards

What’s the difference between PSII and PSI reaction centers?

Thylakoid

PSII = P680, PSI = P700

PSI: makes NADP

PSII: makes oxygen

6
New cards

. Does the Calvin Cycle need light?

No, but it depends on ATP/NADPH made by light-dependent reactions

Use chemical energy to fix carbon into sugars
