Document Summary

Where photosynthesis occurs chloroplasts, algae, and bacteria: purpose is to make food from light. Inputs: co2, atp, & nadh: outputs: inorganic phosphate, adp, nad+, sugars. Chloroplast: found in the interior cells of leaves, contain stroma, thick fluid, contain thylakoids, membrane sacs, have outer and inner membranes, contain several pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids. Functions: convert solar energy into chemical energy, absorb select wavelengths of light that drive photosynthesis. Light-dependent reaction reaction needs light to occur, refers to photosynthesis. Light-independent reaction uses energy from carbohydrates from co2 molecules to start reactions, refers to the calvin cycle. Photosynthesis energized electrons are added to carbon dioxide to make sugar: sunlight provides the energy. Photosystem organized group of chlorophyll and other molecules: light gathering antenna. Electron transport chain (photosynthesis) connects the two photosystems to release energy that the chloroplast uses to make atp. Calvin cycle functions like a sugar factory within a chloroplast. It regenerates the starting material with each turn.
