Document Summary
Cindy s. malone, phd, california state university northridge. Photosynthesis links life to the power of the sun by previewing by examining. Is the process of using sunlight to produce carbohydrate. The overall reaction when glucose is the carbohydrate: 6 co2 6 h2o light energy c6h12o6 6 o2. When water is split to form oxygen gas. Then transferred to the electron carrier nadp+, forming nadph. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of green plants, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms. Internal membranes of chloroplasts that form flattened, vesicle-like structures. Thylakoid membranes contain large quantities of pigments. Fluid-filled space between the thylakoids and the inner membrane. In plants, cells that photosynthesize typically have 40 50 chloroplasts. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy. Is a type of energy electromagnetic radiation. As a particle, light exists in discrete packets. As a wave, light can be characterized by its wavelength. The distance between two successive wave crests. The range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
