Document Summary

Synthesis of atp and nadph: thylakoid membrane. Eliminates the passing of electrons to nadp reductase. Reduction of co2 in calvin cycle requires more atp that nadph. Other energy requiring reactions in the chloroplast also require atp. Noncyclic electron transport produces approximately equal quantities of nadph and. Calvin cycle reduction of other molecules by nadph. What is the function of the special chlorophyll found in the reaction centres of photosystem. There is no movement of electrons in the antenna complex; just energy. Most g3p is recycled so the cycle can continue. Carbon fixed (attached) to larger molecule each turn of cycle. Every three turns produce 1 excess 3 carbon sugar glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Fixation: taking an inorganic carbon from the atmosphere and making it into a larger organic molecule. Carbon dioxide is being added to a larger molecule ( being fixed ) Carbon added to the 5 carbon sugar rubp by the enzyme rubisco. Product is unstable and breaks into 2x3 carbon sugars.
