BIOL 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Thylakoid, Photosystem I, Light-Independent Reactions
Document Summary
Photosynthesis light reactions m calvin cycle, electron transport. Photos are the smallest units of lights and are measured as wavelengths. Light dependent reactions (stroma) 2and the calvin cycle (thylakoid) are the two process for photosynthesis. Foundation of light source of all fuel that helps power each successive life. Photosynthesis is the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. 7. 4 photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells. Mesophyll: the green tissue in the interior of the leaf. Stomata: tiny pores in the leaf that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit. An envelope of two membranes encloses the stroma, the dense fluid within the chloroplast. Thylakoids: segregate the stroma from another compartment, the thylakoid space. Light behaves as discrete packets of energy called photos, fixed quantity of light energy, and the shorter the wavelength, the greater the energy. 7. 8 two photosystems connected by an electron transport chain generate atp and nadph.
