Document Summary

Photophosphorylation: the process by which sunlight drives electron transfers, powering atp synthesis using a h+ gradient. Important chloroplast anatomy: stroma: mitochondrial matrix, thylakoids: complex membrane system that forms flattened sacks, thylakoids will stack like pancakes to form grana. Exciton transfer: the photophosphorylation oxidation reduction reaction: chlorophyll in solution absorbs sunlight energy, loses it rapidly as heat or fluorescence, light harvesting chlorophyll molecules in reaction centers efficiently transfer energy (very little loss, 1. One molecule absorbs a photon of light (exciton) and is excited: 2. Energy is randomly transferred to a neighboring light-harvesting molecule, exciting it first one returns to the ground state: process continues as exciton transfer until exciting a specialized pair of chlorophyll a at the reaction center. Reaction centers: bacterial type ii, bacterial type i, plant reaction center (ii-i in series) Bacterial photochemical reaction centers: pheophytin-quinone reaction centers (type ii)

Part 3

Alex, Kim, and Jenna have different levels of activity, and thus require a varied amount of calories per day. Alex is an athlete, and he requires 3500 calories per day to fuel his high intensity activity. Jenna is a secretary and is sedentary most of her day. Her low level of activity requires a mere 1800 calories a day, while Kim, a professional dancer, needs 2800 calories per day to fuel her moderate level of activity.

	Jenna	Kim	Alex
Profession	Secretary	Professional Dancer	Athlete
Level of Activity	Low	Moderate	High
Caloric Needs	1800 Calories/Day	2800 Calories/Day	3500 Calories/Day

Fats are broken down in cellular respiration to generate the ATP needed to fuel our bodies. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Percent Recommended Daily value for fats in a balanced diet should not exceed more than 30% of the total daily calorie intake. Fats provide 9 calories per gram.

Nutritional needs of Jenna

What question would this calculation answer?
Finding 30% of 1800 calories and then dividing by 9 calories per gram.
1800 calories x 0.30 = 440 calories
440 calories/9 calories per gram = 49 grams
