Document Summary

Why is this important: major increase in dry areas that are lacking water, decrease in productivity due to climate change. 60% of the sun"s output is outside the visible range and unavailable for photosynthesis: 8% converted to heat, 8% reflected and transmitted, 20% lots of photorespiration and other processes, max 4% yield in the form of carbohydrates. Co2 + h2o c6h12o6 + o2: large redox reaction, carbon dioxide reduced, converted into carbohydrate, water being oxidized, converted to oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast: double outer membrane, thylakoid membrane (thylakoids flattened steps) Light dependent reactions occur here: grana: thylakoids together, lumen: inside thylakoid, stroma: outside thylakoid. Light dependent reactions: use water as electron donor, form oxygen as byproduct. Form gradient of protons used to make atp. This atp used for calvin cycle, so it still needs mitochondria for other processes. Dark reactions: use atp and nadph to reduce carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate.
