Study Notes
Light Reactions Overview
- ATP synthase phosphorylates ADP to form ATP.
- Electrons passed along the electron transport chain release energy, which pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid compartment.
- Photosystem II initiates the splitting of water into O2, H+, and electrons.
- Energized electrons from photosystem I are responsible for reducing NADP+ to NADPH.
- Chlorophyll is a key component found in photosystems.
Photophosphorylation and Chemiosmosis
- Photophosphorylation describes ATP production resulting from light energy captured by chlorophyll.
- Proton gradient created by the movement of protons drives ATP synthesis according to the chemiosmotic hypothesis.
- Protons are the particles that pass through the ATP synthase channel.
Inputs and Outputs of Light Reactions
- Light reaction inputs include light, water, NADP+, and ADP.
- Outputs of the light reactions are ATP, NADPH, and O2.
- CO2, glucose, and G3P do not serve as inputs or outputs in light reactions.
Calvin Cycle Functionality
- The Calvin Cycle requires CO2, ATP, and NADPH as inputs.
- Outputs are ADP, NADP+, and G3P, while O2, light, and glucose are neither inputs nor outputs.
- The cycle oxidizes NADPH to NADP+, using electrons to reduce CO2 to G3P.
Carbon Fixation Detail
- Carbon fixation involves adding carbon dioxide to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).
- Six carbon dioxide molecules must be added to RuBP to generate one glucose molecule.
- Three ATP molecules are necessary to regenerate RuBP from five G3P molecules.
Importance of Light-Dependent and Light-Independent Reactions
- Light-dependent reactions utilize water and produce oxygen.
- Light-independent reactions convert gaseous CO2 into usable carbon in sugar form.
- Light-dependent reactions generate ATP and NADPH for use in light-independent reactions.
Role of Photosystem I
- Primary product of photosystem I is NADPH, essential for synthesizing sugars.
- The significance of light-independent reactions lies in their ability to convert atmospheric CO2 into sugar.
Conclusion
- RuBP is crucial in the regeneration phase of the Calvin cycle; without it, the cycle would cease to function.
