Study Notes
Photosynthesis - Light-Dependent Reactions
- ATP is created through a process called chemiosmosis
- High concentration of H+ protons builds up inside the thylakoid membrane
- H+ ions move across the membrane to generate ATP
- ADP combines with a free phosphate, forming ATP, a high-energy molecule
- High-energy molecules NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin Cycle
Calvin Cycle
- Takes place in the stroma (outside thylakoid)
- Carbon fixation: CO2 combines with RuBP
- This unstable molecule splits into two 3-carbon molecules (3-PGA)
- 3-PGA molecules combine with phosphate from ATP and H+ from NADPH
- The result is G3P, a 3-carbon sugar molecule
- One G3P molecule is used to make glucose
- Other G3P molecules are used to regenerate RuBP, to continue the cycle
