Lecture Nine : Photosynthesis
3 important questions on Lecture Nine : Photosynthesis
What is the structure and function of the chloroplast ?
The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis.
- They use energy from light to transform CO2 and H2O into sugar and O2
How do cells capture light energy in photosynthesis ?
This process is called the photosynthetic transport chain
➔ Cytochrome complex
➔ NADP+ reductase
➔ ATP synthase
- This occurs in the thylakoid where the captured light energy is converted to chemical energy
- It involves :
➔ Cytochrome complex
➔ NADP+ reductase
➔ ATP synthase
- Two energy products produced are ATP and NADPH
What are the main inputs and outputs of photosynthesis ?
- CO2 : From environment, used in Calvin Cycle
- H2O : From environment, used in PETC
- C6H12O6 : From Calvin Cycle, used to make energy
- O2 : From H2O, released into environment
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
