LDR Flashcards
ATP and NADPH
transient intermediates of REDOX reactions
PS2 components
20 subunits (99+ cofactors)
35 chlorophyll, 12 B-carotenes
light harvesting complex, reaction centre, e- acceptor
P680
P680 -> P680+ when photon absorbed
Chlorophyll molecule
site of photolysis
photolysis
2H2O —> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
provides e- for ETC and H+ for pmf
needs 2 photons to split H2O, 1 photon to excite e-, 4 photons to release O2 (2 photons per O)
1st carrier in ETC
pheophytin
PS2
2nd carrier in ETC
plastoquinone
H+ pump
3rd carrier in ETC
cytochrome b6f
H+ pump
PS1 components
more complex than PS2
proteins, lipids, cofactors
110+ cofactors/ pigments
P700
P700 -> P700+ when photon absorbed
e- from plastocyanin to ferredoxin NADP reductase
4th carrier in ETC
plastcocyanin
ferredoxin NADP reductase
e- from P700+
reducing agent
NADP+ -> NADPH (reduced)
ECT equation
2H2O + light E —> O2 + 4ATP + 2NADPH
pmf
proton motive force
generated by photolysis and ETC
used to spin domain in ATP synthase
ADP + Pi —> ATP
