Document Summary

Photoautotrophs: energy from light, carbon dioxide from air, water and minerals from soil. Chlorophyll a and b do not absorb green wavelengths. In the fall, other pigments which absorb green and blue become apparent in leaves. This requires energy input which is provided by solar energy. Electrons increase potential energy as they move from water to sugar. Absorption of photon boosts electron to orbital shell of higher energy. Chlorophyll is main pigment in the thylakoid membrane. Light reactions: high concentration gradient created in thylakoid space, oxygen is made, electron flow c. i. Photon comes in and excites electrons in p680 c. ii. Oxygen produced c. v. p700 rips electron from pc: dark reactions or calvin cycle, occur in absence of light, three rounds of the cycle b. i. Only one carbon being fixed at a time: rearrangement of carbons to form rubp c. i. Rubp keeps being made in order to keep cycle going. Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food molecules to atp.
