Document Summary

Photosynthetic organisms photoautotrophs and primary producers: convert energy of sunlight into chemical energy and use it to assemble inorganic raw materials into complex organic molecules. Light-dependent reactions capture of light energy by pigment molecules and energy used to synthesize both atp and nadph. Light-independent reactions electrons carried by nadph and atp energy used to convert co2 from inorganic to organic form. Eukaryotes photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Outer and inner membranes (consists of intermembrane compartment) Light reactions take place in the thylakoid: thylakoid membranes are complex of flattened internal membrane compartments. Compartment enclosed by thylakoids called the thylakoid lumen (inside of thylakoid) Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma: stroma opening in which gas exchange occurs (co2 in, o2 out) on upper surface of leaves. Absorption spectrum - plot of the absorption of light as a function of wavelength. Action spectrum plot of effectiveness of light of particular wavelengths in driving photosynthesis.
