73 views3 pages

Document Summary

Co2 +h2o +energy ch2o +o2 +h2o. Photosynthesis is a balance between competing processes. C3 photosynthesis is a dominant pathway for land plants. Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy with chloroplasts. Light harvesting reactions though transportation chains, h2o breaks into h+ and. O2 (o2 is released), and there are carbon-fixation reactions. Rubp is ribulose bisphosphate (5 carbon sugar) Co2 + rubp (rubp carboxylase oxygenase and energy, like atp and. Nadph) 2 pga (3c sugar) calvin-benson cycle. Calvin benson cycle: pga forms sugars and starches and rubp, nadp and. Rubisco binds with co2 and o2; if binds o2, then no c fixation. High temperature/dry environments c3 becomes inefficient. Decreased co2 diffusion into lead and leaf (co2) C4 photosynthesis has evolved in warm and dry. Co2 fixed into a 4 c sugar. Co2 + pep (phosphoenol pyruvate 3 carbon sugar) (pep caroxylase [very high affinity for co2 no oxygenase function] and energy) oaa.
