What uses photosynthesis?
What do many of them use?
Do all of them produce carbohydrates and 02? |
|
Definition
Photoautotrophs
Light energy, Water, C02
Many of them do, but not all. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Conversion of C02 into organic molecules using light energy |
|
|
Term
| There are two stages of photosynthesis : List and describe them |
|
Definition
Light reactions : Capture light energy to synthesize ATP and NADPH
Calvin Cycle : Electrons and protons of NADPH and energy of ATP converts C02 into carbohydrates |
|
|
Term
What is the general formula for photosynthesis?
Where does the 02 derived (split) from in the formula?
How was this discovered? |
|
Definition
6*C02 + 12*H20 -> C6H1206 + 6*02 + 6*H2
The 02 was derived from H20, this was discovered from studying photoautotrophic bacteria that did not produce 02. (Used H2S and produces S instead of using H20 and producing 02)

Term
| Why is photosynthesis so important? |
|
Definition
Glucose is a major product of photosynthesis
Reduced carbon is a source of carbon for lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
ALL organic molecules are a direct or indirect result of photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
| What are the sites of photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
| Stroma and Thylakoid membranes |
|
|
Term
| What happens in the thylakoid membrane and the stroma? |
|
Definition
In the thylakoid membrane, the light reactions occur.
Proteins, pigments, electron transfer carriers and ATP synthase help carry the light reactions.
In the Stroma, the Calvin cycle happens. Enzymes in the stroma help the calvin cycle happen.. |
|
|
Term
Light energy comes in packets of ________ that have ___________.
Light energy is ____________ to its wavelength. |
|
Definition
Photons
Wavelike Characteristics
Inversely proportionate |
|
|
Term
| Photosynthetic organisms use special molecules called PIGMENTS that absorb light in the visible spectrum : ___nm - ___nm |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Why are chloroplasts green? |
|
Definition
| They are green because they absorb red and blue light, and reflect green light |
|
|
Term
Light reactions occur in the __________
What are photosystems? |
|
Definition
Thylakoid membranes
Photosystems are assemblies of pigment-proteins where light reactions occur |
|
|
Term
Describe Chlorohyll P680
Describe Chlorophyll P700 |
|
Definition
Chlorophyll P680 absorbs light with the maximum wavelength of 680. They are photosystem two.
Chlorophyll P700 absorb light with the maximum wavelength of 700. They are photosystem one. |

|
Term
| Explain the processes of carbon fixation. |
|
Definition
1) C02 reacts with a five carbon molecule RuBP with the help of Rubisco reacting in a six carbon skeleton molecule
2) Six carbon skeleton break down to two molecules of 3PG
C02 + CO2 ->(With rubisco help)-> Six carbon molecule
->(break down)-> Two molecules of 3PG |
|
|
Term
| Explain the process of reduction to carbohydrate of G3P. |
|
Definition
3-PG is Phosphorylated into 1,3-GP
P-C-C-C -> P-C-C-C-P
1,3 GP reduced (added H) to 3PG via the help of NADPH
NADPH + P-C-C-C-P -> C-C-C-P + Pi + NADP^+ |
|
|
Term
| Explain the regeneration of RuBP. |
|
Definition
RuBP is made from 3 turns of the cycle.
(2 G3P per cycle) * 3 = 6 G3P
6G3P = 6C * 3 = 18C
RuBP = 5C so THREE RuBP is made
3C leftover, so there is a surplus of ONE G3P per every THREE turns. |
|
|
Term
| G3P is the starting point of ______________. |
|
Definition
Nearly ALL organic molecules.
E.g Amino Acids, Nucleic acids, Carbs, fats |
