Document Summary

Light-dependent: uses water, produces oxygen, uses adp, nadp+, produces atp, nadph producing energy and reducing power, energy input from photons (from sunlight, can use o2 production to measure rate of photosynthesis. Light spectrum: visible spectrum area where we have enough energy to excite the pigments and drive the photosynthesis reactions, short wave length regions too much energy, destroys the molecules vs. long wavelengths. Not enough energy to excite the molecules: therefore, it is largely driven by the visible spectrum. Light strikes the antenna complex related to psii, picks up an electron, and psii passes it on the pq. O2 from water: the energy lost from the process is stored as h+ ions get pumped to produce atp. In the beginning co2 reacts with water and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (rubp) (substrate) to make. Carboxylation step: going from (3) five carbons (ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate) reacting with 3 (co2) to get (6) two stable 3-carbon molecules (3-phosphoglycerate) catalyzed by rubisco.
