EOC REVIEW: CELLULAR PROCESSES- Photosynthesis (Dark Reactions) Flashcards
What is a light dependent reaction?
The first part of photosynthesis, relies on light energy
What reactants go into the light dependent reaction?
Water, photons, NADP+, ADP
What are the products of the light dependent reaction?
O2, NADPH, ATP
What is the electron transport chain?
Series of proteins that transfer electrons while moving protons across the membrane
What is the calvin cycle fueled by?
It is fueled by energy carriers from the light dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH)
What is another name for the Calvin Cycle
The dark reaction
What is the Calvin Cycle’s equation?
ATP + NADPH + carbon dioxide yields ADP + NADP+ + glucose
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
In the stroma of chloroplasts
Draw the diagram for carbon fixation.
Draw the diagram for reduction.
Draw the diagram for regeneration.
Summarize the Calvin Cycle.
CO2 molecules bind RuBP via rubisco enzyme; a six carbon intermediate is formed, which makes 3 carbon chains; ATP and NADPH make G3P; one makes glucose; five are recycled using ATP into RuBP; it takes two cycles to make one glucose (18 ATP)
