BIOL 1010U Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Chlorophyll, Glycolic Acid, Carboxylation
Document Summary
Biol 1010 and biol 1011 - lecture 12. Chapter 8 (section 8. 2) the calvin cycle (pages 157 to 160) Chapter 8 (section 8. 4) challenges to photosynthetic efficiency (pages 166 to 170) Use the following wireframe outline to make notes on the content presented in lecture 12. Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma; it requires light indirectly due to atp synthesis. This cycle needs more atp than nadph, no splitting of water required, thus an extension of both cyclic and non-cyclic electron flow. The stroma is the region outside the thylakoid membrane. There is truly no such thing as a "dark reaction"" it is light independent, no photons being captured. Calvin cycle can only occur if there is a steady supply of nadph and atp, and these molecules cannot be synthesized without photosynthesis: regarding the calvin cycle: There are 3 atp consumed for every 2 nadph used.
