- 5.5 - photosynthesis
- light dependent reaction
- takes place in the grana of the chloroplast
- the electrons that are lost in the chlorophyll are regained by the water
- light energy splits the water into hydrogen, electrons and oxygen
- oxygen is a waste product
- the hydrogen ions join with the electrons through the ETC, to form hydrogen atoms
- the hydrogen atoms join to the coenzyme called NADP to form reduced NADP (NADPH2)
- the reduced NADP and ATP are used in the light independent reaction
- the energy here makes ATP
- the reduced NADP and ATP are used in the light independent reaction
- the hydrogen atoms join to the coenzyme called NADP to form reduced NADP (NADPH2)
- light energy splits the water into hydrogen, electrons and oxygen
- light independent reaction
- this is the second stage and takes place in the stroma
- the ATP and reduced NADP from the light dependent reaction in this reaction
- carbon dioxide binds to a five carbon receptor molecule to from GP (two molecules of three- carbon molecule)
- the GP needs hydrogen and ATP from reduced NADP to make simple sugars
- carbon dioxide and hydrogen from reduced NADP are in a reduction from the ATP energy to make glucose
- the GP needs hydrogen and ATP from reduced NADP to make simple sugars
- chloroplast
- inner and outer membrane
- inside: thylakoid are stacks of membranes called grana
- the granum are surrounded by the stroma
- light dependent reaction
