BSCI 105 Lecture 11: photosynthesis
Document Summary
Start with some sort molecule: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins. Energy transformation the conversion of light energy (electromagnetic energy) into stored chemical energy: during this process, we take carbon that is inorganic (carbon dioxide) and convert it into carbon that is organic (sugar) the sugar is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Cellular respiration: sugar + o2 co2 + h2o + energy. Co2 + h2o + energy sugar + o2. Major stages of photosynthesis o o o part) o o o. Require visible light produce atp, nadph and atp. Do not require visible light use co2 and the atp & nadph from light rxns to make carbohydrates. Absorbed light excites electrons which leads to atp production via chemiosmosis o photophosphorylation. Excited electrons move to primary electron acceptor (creating a electron void) The electron void is filled with electrons from the splitting of water (photolysis) H+ from water end up in thylakioid lumen so does oxygen!
