Document Summary

Today we are going to talk about photosynthesis!! Understand electron transport chain then you will understand photosynthesis process. Ps is what plants and autotrophs do; use sunlight to make organic complex molecules. Photoautotrophs: self-feeding, use of light to synthesize carbohydrates (sugar) from. Calvin cycle takes atp and nadph to reduce co2 to sugar! Light-dependent reaction: converts solar energy (light) to atp and nadph (chemical energy) Uses photosystems ii and i found in chlorophyll (pigment) Reactants have low ep while products have high ep. So rxn is endergonic, input of energy from the sun. Co2 + h2o glucose + o2. Ep increases bc electrons become more loosely packed. The plant cell is distinguished from the animal cell by these structures: Cell wall: structural support (i. e. don"t collapse when out of h2o, consists of rods or fibres of cellulose held together by proteins and jelly like polysaccharides.
