Document Summary

Oxidation of water, with o2 produced as a by-product. Reduction of co2 to form carbohydrates (all occur in chloroplast of plant cells) Electron transport and oxygen is given off. Create source of energy (atp) and source of electrons (nadph) Experiment where does oxygen gas come from (figure 8. 2) ** Place a chlorella, a green alga, into two flasks. Use isotopes of oxygen (18o) in the different flask. One flask is h2 18o and co2, the other is h2o and c18o2. Wait 2 hours to allow photosynthesis to occur. Measure ratio of 18o2/16o2 in the air above the flasks. Ps i and ps ii are in the thylakoid membrane. Outer membrane and inner membrane separating it from the cell. Around the thylakoid membranes is a liquid portion called the stroma. Carboxylation the addition of co2 to the 5-carbon compound, rubp, is catalyzed by the enzyme rubisco: breaks down into 3-phosphoglycerate (3pga)
