Study Notes
Photosynthesis Components and Processes
- Sunlight is essential for the Light Dependent Phase, initiating the photosynthesis process.
- Water serves as a reactant in the Light Dependent Reaction, contributing electrons for the synthesis of energy molecules.
- Oxygen is generated as a gas product of the Light Dependent Reaction, released into the atmosphere.
- Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the Light Dependent Reaction takes place, harnessing light energy.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced during the Light Dependent Reaction and acts as a primary energy carrier within the cell.
- NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) functions as an energy-storing molecule, transporting electrons and energy.
- The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts, utilizing energy carriers from the Light Dependent Reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
- Carbon Dioxide is a crucial reactant for the Calvin Cycle, enabling the synthesis of organic compounds.
- Glucose is the final product of the Calvin Cycle, serving as an energy source for plants and, ultimately, for other organisms in the ecosystem.
- ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed when an ATP molecule loses a phosphate group during the Calvin Cycle, releasing energy.
- NADH is created when energy-rich electrons are transferred, often resulting from the breaking of a phosphate bond in energy processes.
