BIOL 150 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Transpiration, Light-Independent Reactions, Electrochemical Gradient
Document Summary
Many compounds/processes are similar--know the differences so you don"t get confused on the exam. Memorization does not equal understanding free radicals are not nice. There are two different photosystems with antenna complexes-- each has a different electron acceptor in the reaction center. The photosystem 2 etc runs very much like the respiration etc atp synthase is a part of this system. Photosystem 2 and the cytochrome complex are located in the membranes surrounding thylakoid lumens. When a photon is absorbed by a pigment molecule, an electron in the pigmnt molecule is boosted to a higher. Biology page 1 electron in the pigmnt molecule is boosted to a higher energy state. High energy electrons from photosystem 1 go to the electron carrier nadp+ to create nadph. How are you going to remember the difference between. Photosystems 1 and 2 work together -- this is the z-
