Ch. 10 Photosynthesis

• Review of connection between cellular respiration
  and photosynthesis
• Autotroph
• Heterotroph

3
Photosynthesis

• Site of photosynthesis
• chloroplasts
• grana
• stroma
• chlorophyll
• thylakoids
• Important wavelengths of light, electromagnetic
  spectrum
• Photopigments

4
So, why is chlorophyll so important, and how does
it all start?

• Photoexcitation of chlorophyll
• photosystems
• reaction center
• primary electron acceptor

5
Photosystem I vs. Photosystem II

• Cyclic electron flow vs. noncyclic electron flow
• functions

6
Photosynthesis Light Reactions

• So, what do I have to know
• about these metabolic pathways?
• 1. Overall reactants,
  products
• 2. Purpose

7
Photosynthesis Dark Reactions (Calvin cycle)

• So, what do I have to know
• about these metabolic pathways?

1. Overall reactants, products 2. Purpose
8
Photosynthesis

• How does NADP, NADPH, ATP, and water play a role
  in all of this?

9
Whats the Diff????

• Between chemosynthesis and photosynthesis?

10
How do they do it?????

• How do photosynthesizers moderate the greenhouse
  effect?
