New cards
Where does photosynthesis occur?
In the chloroplast
2
New cards
What is the thylakoid?
Pigment molecules in bilayer that trap light.
3
New cards
What is the Thylakoid membrane?
Composed of a phospholipid bilayer. Has protein pigment complex embedded in membrane. Traps light.
4
New cards
What is the photosystem?
Group of 40-500 pigment protein molecules. They absorb various wavelengths to make glucose.
5
New cards
What is chlorophyll?
The primary light absorber. Made up of a porphyrin ring and a phytol tail.
6
New cards
What is chlorophyll A?
Contains CH3 group. Absorbs more violet. Main trap pigment and only one that can pass light to other molecules.
7
New cards
What is chlorophyll B?
Contains aldehyde group. Absorbs more blue. Accessory pigment that passes light to chlorophyll A.
8
New cards
What is a light dependant reaction?
Light energy strikes chlorophyll, involves photosynthesis. Uses excited e- to make ATP and NADPH to make glucose.
9
New cards
Where does a light dependant reaction occur?
In the thylakoid membrane.
10
New cards
What is a light indépendant reaction?
Uses the Calvin cycle. Combines CO2 into glucose. Uses ATP and NADPH from light dependant reaction.
11
New cards
Where do light indépendant reactions occur?
In the stroma.
