Photosynthesis

Question 1

Thylakoids

Answer 1

saclike photosynthetic membranes
- gather sun’s energy with light absorbing molecules called pigments

Question 2

Light reactions

Answer 2

convert light energy into chemical energy
-Produce ATP and NADPH

Question 3

Carbon fixation reactions (dark reactions)

Answer 3

use ATP and NADPH from light reactions plus CO2 to produce carbs

Question 4

What happens when photons are absorbed

Answer 4

molecule acquires the energy of the photon, molecule goes from ground state to excited state

Question 5

Electron acceptor

Answer 5

the first carrier in an electron transport system in thylakoid

Question 6

Electron flow

Answer 6

Happens after chlorophyll a gives off an electron and finally reduced NADP+ into NADPH and H+

Question 7

Light rxn pt2.

Answer 7

-18 ATP made
- Water is split
-12 NADPH are made

Question 8

light independednt rxn 2.

Answer 8

-Fixation of CO2 catalyzed by Rubisco
- Reduction of 3PG into G3P
-Regeneration of CO2 acceptor RuBP (5/6 are recycled back to RuBP, 1/6 used to make sugars
