Document Summary

Lecture material: draw a schematic diagram showing the the main components of the photosynthetic z-scheme, linking. You should include; psii and psi reaction centers, phaeophytin, plastiquinol (pq), the cytochrome complex, plastocyanin (pc) and ferredoxin. You should show where photons are absorbed, where h+ ions are pumped across the thylakoid membrane and where atp and nadph are produced. Pq movement in thylakoid membranes drives atp production by atp synthase: develop an analogy describing the similarity between the photosynthetic process and the generation of power from hydro-electricity. Lecture material: discuss the key differences between linear and cyclic electron flow around psii/psi. Compare the chemical inputs and outputs of these two different electron flow paths and describe the physiological conditions that should favor one pathway over the other: draw a p vs. Compare and contrast the processes of c fixation and photorespiration: describe the catalytic limitations of rubisco in the context of the evolutionary history of this enzyme.
