Study Notes
Photolysis of Water in Photosynthesis
- The main purpose of photolysis of water in photosynthesis is to produce ATP and NADPH.
Photosystem II
- The pigment that is photoactivated in the reaction center of photosystem II is P680.
Non-Cyclic Photophosphorylation
- The primary role of non-cyclic photophosphorylation in photosynthesis is to generate ATP and NADPH.
Thylakoid Space
- The hydrogen ions released into the thylakoid space during photosynthesis create a proton gradient used to drive ATP synthesis.
Electron Transport Chain
- The function of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis is to generate a proton gradient used to drive ATP synthesis.
Plastocyanin (Pc)
- The role of plastocyanin (Pc) in the electron transport chain is to transfer electrons from cytochrome b6f to photosystem I.
Electron Transport Chain Product
- The ultimate product of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis is ATP.
Photosystem I (PS I)
- The electron released from the P700 in PS I goes next to plastocyanin (Pc).
