BABS1201 Notes – LEC 12
LEC 12: Photosynthesis
• Physio-chemical process where oxygen is liberated and carbon dioxide is consumed
by eukaryotes; plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria)
o Light dependent, anaerobic form of metabolism
• Photosynthesis has two forms
o Oxygenic – creates oxygen (plants, algae, cyanobacteria)
o An-oxygenic – creating other products other than oxygen using light energy
• Empirical equations:
o Photosynthesis
o Respiration
• Chloroplast:
o + carboxysomes (bacterial micro-compartments containing enzymes involved
in carbon fixation)
