Document Summary

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the photoelectric effect, light hitting a metal dislodges electrons. Sometimes this wavelength of light is in the visible spectrum. Electricity passing through a filament in a lightbulb causes heat and light. Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment which. Chlorophyll b, carotenoids and phycobilins are accessory pigments. The absorption spectrum is the wavelengths of light a certain pigment can absorb. Photons are absorbed by molecules which are boosted to a higher energy level. Fluorescence is when energy is released as a photon at a lower energy level. Electron transfer is when the high energy electron is transferred to another molecule. Occurs on thylakoid membranes, where pigments are embedded. Forms atp, reduces nadp+ to nadph, splits h2o and liberates o2. Antenna complexes in photosystem 2 absorb photons, exciting 2 e-, and splitting h2o. The e- go through the electron transport chain. Energy is used to bring h+ into the thy- lakoid lumen.

Photosynthesis

Light Reactions:

This overall reduction-oxidation reaction requires _________________ to begin the flow of __________________. Photosynthetic ____________________ absorb light energy and are located in ___________________ found embedded within the membranes of __________________. The most prevalent one include the ___________________ which reflect ________________ light and absorb the other wavelengths of light. Accessory pigments include ___________________. When light energy is absorbed in photosynthesis, electrons of pigment molecules become _________________ and move into higher potential energy _______________. When the electrons return to their previous position, _____________ is passed to the ______________________ pigment molecule. Electrons within this pigment molecule move to a high potential energy state and are âgrabbedâ by _________________________ chains. Electrons from photosystem II are passed to ______________________. Electrons from photosystem I are passed to _________________. As electrons move in the electron transport chain associated with photosystem I/II (circle one), the energy released is used to power ___________ pumps and __________ is produced via a process known as ________________________.

Calvin Cycle:

The Calvin Cycle can be broken into 3 main series of reactions. In the first group, known as the __________________ step, ______________________ combines with 3 molecules of ____________________ to form 6 molecules of _____________________. This reaction is catalyzed by ___________________. ________________ can act as a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme, shutting down this step in a process known as ______________________________. In the second series of reactions known as the __________________ steps, the molecules produced in the previous step get oxidized/reduced (circle one). The source of electrons is _________from the light reactions. This step is endergonic/exergonic (circle one) and thus requires _______ from the light reactions. Six molecules of _____________________ are produced, ______ (#) of which will continue in biosynthetic pathways to produce __________________.
