Document Summary

6 co2 + 12 h2o + light glucose + 6 o2 + 6 h2o. Photosynthesis is made up of two phases: light reactions, which happen in thylakoid membranes, calvin cycle, which happens in the stroma. Light energy is being absorbed during the light reactions of photosynthesis. Light energy is being converted to atp and reducing nadp to nadph + h+ Water is required for a process called photolysis, the breakdown of water. Water is broken down to provide electrons. Light energy comes in as photons: they have wavelengths. There are pigments in the chloroplasts that are able to absorb energy at specific wavelengths. Chlorophyll is the most common pigments in leaves. Highest level of absorption for both chlorophyll molecules is between 400-500 nm and 600-700 nm: where max absorption is taking place, absorb the most energy at these wavelengths. Not much absorption for green and yellow: lots of reflection, make a leaf look green.
