light dependent reactions

Cards (11)

what are the products of light dependent reaction? 
ATP
reduced NADP
oxygen
where does the light dependent reactions take place? 
the thylakoid membranes
what is used to form the products in light dependent reactions? 
light
what is the product of light independent reaction? 
glucose
what is used to form glucose in light independent reaction? 
ATP
reduced NADP
carbon dioixe
what do the light independent reactions occur? 
in the stroma
what is light harvested by? 
photosystems
what are photosystems?
protein and chlorophyll
where are the photosystems found? 
on the thylakoid membrane
how many photosystems are involved?
photosystem 1 (PSI)
photosystem 2 (PSII)
so 2 photosystems
what occurs first?
light energy absorbed by PSII, a pair of electron is excited.
the excited pair of electrons passes through an electron transport chain via a series of redox reactions.
at the end of the electron transport chain, the electrons are passed to PSI.
as the electron pair moves through the electron transport chain, the energy of the electrons produces ATP by chemiosmosis.
light energy the absorbed by PSI, pair of electrons excited.
electrons go through electron transport chain, making ATP by chemiosmosis
electron pair added to NADP in storm to form reduced NADP.
