Resource summary
Photosynthesis
Light Dependent Reaction
In the thylakoid memberane
Products are ATP & reduced NADP
Requires Light
Photolysis is the breaking of H2O molecules to produce protons, electrons andO2
Oxygen diffuses in to the atmosphere
Light energy excites electrons in cholorophyll
Electrons move to a higher energy level and passes down the electron transfer chain
Electrons transfer chain in thylakoids
Energy is released as electrons travel down the chain
ATP is generated
Electrons combine with H+ released from photolysis of H20 to reduce NADP
Requires light
Light independent Reaction
In the Stroma
Does not Require Light
Calvin Cycle
1. CO2 from the atmosphere combines with Ribulose biphosphate using an enzyme to produce 2 molecules of Glycerate-3-phosphate
2. This is then reduced to two molecules of triose phosphate, using energy from ATP and from reduced NADP
3. Triose phosphate is then converted into many organics substances like Glucose
Chloroplast
Leaf
Large SA:V to absorb much sunlight as posssible
Thin:Short diffusion Pathway
Numerous stomata for gaseous exchange.
Network of xylem and phloem to transport water and sugars
Transparent Cuticle - so light can pass through
