BOT 2100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Thylakoid, Electrochemical Gradient, C4 Carbon Fixation
Document Summary
Use acronyms (ie rubp not ribulose bisphosphate) Purple sulphur bacteria (nonoxygenic) splitting of hydrogensulfide (replaces water) Splitting of water being crucial in photosynth, why the splitting is important electrons and protons and oxygen. Electrons from splitting water with stuff for stabilizing the systems. Know thw chain n the photosystems 1 and 2, know the etc. Know things in the phtotsystems (plastiquinone etc) and protons being extruded. They are acceptors n donators that produce a proton gradient. Prot gradient occurs in the thylakoid membrane. 2 things that help fix carbon in the light rxn (atp produced and the reducing gpower of nadph) These products n stuff tho go in the stroma (liquid phase) calvin cycle and carbon fix first step of k cycle (acceptor of co2 from atmosphere w rubp, then this rxn to produce unstable. 6 carbon sugar that breaks to 2x3c suggard, then blach blah. Know the first steps of the c cycl.
