Document Summary

Photosynthesis: metabolic process where light energy is used to draw the conversion of co2 into sugar. No useable energy in co2: because oxygen is there, you can"t get electron away from it due to presence of co2. C-h bonds provide energy: molecules have high energy content if they have more c-h bond, neither c or h are highly electronegative, so body can pull e- away from them to get energy. Photosynthesis is an endergonic process: energy comes from light. Involves redox reactions: co2 is reduced to sugar, h2o gets oxidized to o2. Breakdown of this atp made drive the reaction of co2 into sugar. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: has an eye spot, that it uses to go towards or away from light. Called phototaxis: then it uses the light to photosynthesize. Electromagnetic radiation that we perceive with our eyes. Can also talk about it as photons (a quanta of light) Almost every photosynthetic organism has chlorophyll a.
