Document Summary

Atp generated from photosynthesis is used to generate carbon, not for metabolic. Functions (plants still require cellular respiration: photosynthesis = increase in potential energy (requires energy in terms of sunlight to operate, electrons are held tightly in reactants (low potential energy) and loosely in products (high potential energy) In the photosynthesis reaction: 6co2 + 6h2o + energy ------> c6h12o6 + 6o2: carbon is reduced in the reduction rxn ; oxygen is oxidized in the oxidation rxn, and potential energy increases. Cyclic phosphorylation - some organisms only produce atp, not nadph (electrons cycle back from fd (ferrodoxin) of psi to the cytochrome etc and then back to p700 chlorophyll. Occurs in photosynthetic bacteria with only psi, some cyanobacteria, and some eukaryotic photosynthetic species (cyclic and linear pathways co-exist) Photosystem ii and i (light reactions) = happens in thylakoid membrane. Disadvantages: decreases photosynthetic yield on hot dry days (consumes atp and releases co2), wasteful negative process: evolutionary solutions to photorespiration:
