- Photosynthesis
- Structure
- Grana
- set of thylakoids
- Stroma
- filled with fluid
- Intermembrane space
- Grana
- Light Dependent Stage
- Takes place in thylakoids
- requires light and water
- Chlorophyll absorbs light and electrons become excited.
- Electrons leave chlorophyll and go to electron carrier which is reduced.
- Electrons lose energy at each stage of electron carriers.
- Energy is used to combine Pi and ADP.
- Electrons lose energy at each stage of electron carriers.
- Electrons leave chlorophyll and go to electron carrier which is reduced.
- Light independent Stage (Calvin cycle)
- Takes place in stroma
- Is dependent upon ATP produced in light dependent
