Study Notes

Light-Dependent Reactions

When water is split, 1 molecule of oxygen, 4 protons, and 4 electrons are produced
Oxygen either diffuses out through stomata or is used in respiration
4 protons move into the stroma, creating a proton gradient
The excited electron moves down a series of protein complexes, pumping protons from the stroma to the thylakoid space
The electron then moves to PSI, where more photons of light are absorbed, causing the electron to move back up to a high energy level

Light-Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Carbon dioxide fixation: CO2 is fixed with ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) in a process known as carboxylation
Reduction phase: the reducing power of reduced NADP reduces glycerate-3-phosphate, forming 2 molecules of triose phosphate
Regeneration of RuBP: 5 molecules of triose phosphate are used to regenerate 3 molecules of ribulose bisphosphate
Organic molecule production: 2 molecules of triose phosphate combine to form the intermediate hexose sugar fructose 1,6 bisphosphate

Respiration

Aerobic respiration: splitting of a respiratory substrate, releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product
Anaerobic respiration: occurs in the absence of oxygen
Oxidative phosphorylation: process by which energy from NADH and FADH is used to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane
Krebs cycle: 2 ATP molecules, 6 NADH molecules, 2 FADH molecules, and 4 CO2 molecules are produced per molecule of glucose

Photosynthesis

Net primary productivity (NPP): rate at which energy is transferred into organic molecules, minus respiratory losses to the environment
Gross primary productivity (GPP): rate at which energy is incorporated into organic molecules in photosynthesis
NPP = GPP – R

Nutrient Cycles

Nitrogen cycle: nitrogen is recycled within natural ecosystems, with four stages:
- Ammonification: microbes break down organic matter to ammonia
- Nitrification: nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite ions
- Denitrification: nitrate ions are converted to nitrogen gas
- Nitrogen fixation: nitrogen gas is fixed into other compounds by bacteria with nitrogen-fixing ability
