Document Summary

Road map: ps is a 2-step process, the light reactions convert solar e to chemical e, energy-transduction reactions, needs light to function, the calvin cycle (dark rxns) makes sugars from co2, carbon-fixation reactions, can happen without light. Chloroplasts: site of ps, chloroplast are organelles, located inside cells, each square mm of a leaf contains about 500,000 chloroplasts, really, see diagram below! Leaf: cuticle waxy epidermis, stomata holes in the cuticle and epidermis lets gases in (co2) and out (o2, mesophyll in-between. Chloroplast: has own dna, lumen inside, stroma outside, different in proton concentrations btwn the 2 sides. = absorb e really well: when a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon, one of its electrons (e-) becomes excited (gains e, the excited e-, unstable, must go back down to ground state by releasing e. Photosystem ii: water splitting complex: when p680 molecules donate electrons to the primary e- acceptor (ie oxidized), they are replaced by extracting e- from water .
