photosynthesis Flashcards
(6 cards)
ribulose biphosphate
happens in phase three of calvin cycle
5 carbon 2 phosphates
will attach to the carbon dioxide coming in
what is rubisco
catalyzed the reaction between ribulose biphosphate and carbon dioxide
enzyme
calvin cycle consists of 3 processes
fixation of co2
reduction of 3pg to g3p
regeneration of RuBP
photophosphorylation
use of light energy from photosynthesis to ultimately provide the energy to convert ADP to ATP
cyclic phosphorylation
occurs usually in prokaryotes
just accomplishes the ADP to ATP process for immediate energy for these cells.
noncyclic phosphorylation
a plant must accomplish the splitting of water, the conversion of ADP to ATP, and the provision of the reduced coenzyme NADPH to power the synthesis of energy storage molecules.
