1
New cards
Photosynthesis uses photosystems
a cluster of pigment molecules used to capture light energy
2
New cards
how many processes of photosynthesis?
two
3
New cards
two systems
photosystem I and photosystem II
4
New cards
light dependent reaction
require light (sun light a.k.a visible light), convert solar energy to chemical energy (ATP)
5
New cards
non-cyclic electron flow
1st part of light dependent reactions, take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, utilize photosystem I and II, utilizes photosystem II
6
New cards
cyclic electron flow
utilizes photosystem I
7
New cards
light independent reactions
a.k.a "dark reactions"/carbon fixation/calvin cycle, do not require light, utilize ATP/NADPH to convert CO2 to carbohydrates (glucose), takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast
8
New cards
light dependent
reactions generate about 2 as much ATP as NADPH
