Document Summary

Lecture 9 - photosynthesis: the nature of sunlight. Each has a wavelength ( ): distance from one peak to next. Electromagnetic spectrum: range of electromagnetic e, or radiation: effects of photon absorption on the electrons of a molecule. When a molecules absorbs a photon of light e. An e- becomes energized shifts from lower e orbital to higher e: plant organization. Leaves are green because chlorophyll reflects and transmits green light. Goal is to make as much sugar as possible for energy: structure of a chloroplast. Red and red-orange are the wavelengths absorbed for photosynthesis changing colors of fall turn brown when no living processes are in them: photosynthetic pigments. Photosynthetic pigments in thylakoid capture light energy. Chlorophyll a: main one (should recognize the basic structure) Hydrocarbon tail: interacts with hydrophobic regions of proteins inside thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. Redox process: h2o is oxidized & co2 is reduced. Endergonic process e boost from light e.
