Document Summary

General biology 1005 photosynthesis (cont. : balanced photosynthetic reaction- 6co2 + 12h 20 + sunlight + chlorophyll= 6 02 + c6hl2o6 + 6 h20. These reactions occur on the membranes of the thylakoid disks in the chloroplasts. The energy of sunlight is passed from antennae molecules of chlorophyll to an action site where the below reactions occur. They are called light dependent reactions (light reactions) because sunlight is needed and two photosystems result: Photosystem i- uses a type of chlorophyll which traps wavelengths of light of 700nm and so it is called p700. In this system, chlorophyll is excited by sunlight so as to energize two electrons, which are temporarily transferred to another substance called x, which removes the energy from the electrons so they may return to chlorophyll. Cyclic phosphorylation- when these excited electrons return to chlorophyll, some of their energy is used to generate one molecule of atp.
