ps Flashcards
light reactions make
ATP and NADPH
dark reactions use what to run what
ATP and NADPH to turn pentose phosphate and glycolysis in reverse
E = hc/gamma what are all the variables
h = planck’s constant
c = velocity of light
gamma = wavelength
electron transfer
chemical breakdown by ejection of the excited electron
resonance transfer
transfer of energy to adjacent molecule with same energy gap
why ultraviolet light bad
energy too high, will break covalent bonds
why infrared bad
energy too low, bond rotation and vibration
role of accessory pigment
can harvest more light in the EMS
chlorophylls
magnesium, looks similar to heme-like porphyrin ring
carotenoids
long chian with double bonds flanked by two rings
isoprenoid unit
phycobilins
open chain tetrapyrolls
similar to unwound chlorophylls
phytol side chain
chlorophyll, anchor in membrane
what starts e- flow
light absorption
what type of transfer is antenna molecule passing energy to neighboring chlorophyll molecules
resonance energy transfer
what type of transfer is privileged chlorophyll to electron acceptor
electron transfer
H+ pump
cytochrome b6f complex
1 e- carriers
ferredoxin
plastocyanin
the etc pumps protons from
stroma to lumen
how many photons per electron
one
what is reduced by e- transferred from chlorophyll
ferredoxin
what refills the reaction center “special pair” of chlorophyll molecules
plastocyanin
ps1 cylic flow
light -> p700 -> fd -> cytb6f -> plastocyanin and pumps protons
how many protons pumped per photon cytb6f
2
ps1 wavelength at which chromophore absorbs max
p700
