Document Summary

Photosynthesis starts with photosystem 2(ps2) and then goes to ps1. During electron transport, protons are pumped from the stroma into the thylakoid lumen, Protons then low back into the stroma through the atp synthase, driving the synthesis of atp. The absorpion of light energy drives the low of electrons from water to nadph. If you don"t have enough nadp+ you can create reacive oxygen species, which are bad for you. Xanthophylls- special pigment molecules that, if you cant keep producing nadph, you can convert excess slight energy into heat, bypassing the creaion of these high energy electrons. Cash in atp"s and nadph to form carbohydrates. For every 6co2 incorporated, 18 atp and 12 nadph used. It takes a lot more atp to make the glucose, although its not directly made. Co2 input (carboxylaion addiion of co2 to rubp, the molecule that adds co2 is rubisco. ) Rubisco is the highest produced protein in plants.
