Document Summary

Bioa01 study guide- lectures 12 & 13. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants, algae, cyanobacteria and photosynthetic prokaryotes use the energy from light in order to create sugars for themselves. When a photon hits a chlorophyll molecule, it excites an electron out of its ground state and the electron is then picked up by a electron carrier such as cytochrome. The electron has a lot of energy and gives off energy to a phosphate group and adp forming atp. Carbon dioxide has to undergo carbon fixation" which involves an electron being carried by. Nadph and energy from atp to reduce carbon dioxide to a carbohydrate. Water plants have a waxy cuticle that prevents water from escaping. Gas exchange- plants have stomata (pores) on their leaves to regulate gas exchange. The light dependant reactions produce and supply the electrons needed for the calvin cycle to occur.
