Document Summary

Nature of chemical energy and redox reactions. In cells, electrons are the most important source of chemical potential energy. A molecule"s potential energy is a function of its electrons" configuration and position. Reduction-oxidation reactions are chemical reaction that involve electron transfer, redox reactions drive atp formation. When an atom or molecule gain an electrons(always has negative charge), it is reduced. When an atom or molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. Oxidation and reduction events are always coupled, if one atom loses an electron, another has to gain it. Electron donors are always paired with electron acceptors. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is reduced to form nadh. Nadh readily donates electrons to other molecules and thus called an electron carrier and had reducing power". The carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized to form carbon dioxide, and the oxygen atoms in oxygen are reduced to form water. In cells, glucose is oxidized through a long series of carefully controlled redox reactions.

Photosynthesis

Light Reactions:

Photosynthesis is the process of reducing/oxidizing (circle one) _____________________ to produce ___________________. This overall reduction-oxidation reaction requires _________________ to begin the flow of __________________. Photosynthetic ____________________ absorb light energy and are located in ___________________ found embedded within the membranes of __________________. The most prevalent one include the ___________________ which reflect ________________ light and absorb the other wavelengths of light. Accessory pigments include ___________________. When light energy is absorbed in photosynthesis, electrons of pigment molecules become _________________ and move into higher potential energy _______________. When the electrons return to their previous position, _____________ is passed to the ______________________ pigment molecule. Electrons within this pigment molecule move to a high potential energy state and are âgrabbedâ by _________________________ chains. Electrons from photosystem II are passed to ______________________. Electrons from photosystem I are passed to _________________. As electrons move in the electron transport chain associated with photosystem I/II (circle one), the energy released is used to power ___________ pumps and __________ is produced via a process known as ________________________. Photosystem I/II (circle one) electrons must be replaced to continue the reaction so ____________ is split for its electrons. The products _______________ & _______________ then proceed to the ______________________ cycle.

Calvin Cycle:

The Calvin Cycle can be broken into 3 main series of reactions. In the first group, known as the __________________ step, ______________________ combines with 3 molecules of ____________________ to form 6 molecules of _____________________.

In the second series of reactions known as the __________________ steps, the molecules produced in the previous step get oxidized/reduced (circle one). The source of electrons is _________from the light reactions. This step is endergonic/exergonic (circle one) and thus requires _______ from the light reactions.
