Questions and Answers

What are the two light-dependent reactions involved in photosynthesis?

photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI)

What is the by-product created in oxygenic photosynthesis?

oxygen (O2)

What is the main process by which plants acquire energy?

photosynthesis

How is ATP produced in non-cyclic photophosphorylation?

<p>Cytochrome b6f uses electrons from PSII and energy from PSI to pump protons from the stroma to the lumen, creating a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane used by ATP synthase to form ATP</p> Signup and view all the answers

Why is cyclic photophosphorylation important?

<p>It is important to create ATP and maintain NADPH in the right proportion for the light-independent reactions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Photosynthesis Process

  • Two light-dependent reactions involved in photosynthesis are: Light-Dependent Reactions and Calvin Cycle
  • By-product created in oxygenic photosynthesis is Oxygen

Energy Acquisition in Plants

  • Main process by which plants acquire energy is Photosynthesis

ATP Production

  • In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, ATP is produced through Electron Transport Chain, which generates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis
  • In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, ATP is produced in the Thylakoid Membrane

Importance of Cyclic Photophosphorylation

  • Cyclic photophosphorylation is important because it generates ATP only, without producing NADPH or Oxygen, which is essential for plants in low-light conditions or when CO2 is limited
