Chemisty Of Photosynthesis Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
What is light reactions?
A
A light dependant stage
2
Q
What is carbon fixation
A
A temperature dependant stage
3
Q
What happens in stage one(light reactions)
A
- light energy is trapped by chlorophyll
- h20 is split using energy from sunlight
- hydrogen goes to stage 2 and oxygen is released into environment
- the bond is used for ADP+pi–> ATP
4
Q
What happens in stage two( carbon fixation)
A
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide from atmosphere use the bond from ATP to make final product glucose.
5
Q
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
A
Light reactions and carbon fixation
