- Photosynthesis
- Basic equation of photosynthesis
- 6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water Molecules + energy -> 1 Glucose+ 6 Oxygren
- ATP
- Produced from the energy released from glucose in respiration
- Made up of...
- Adenine
- Synthesised from...
- Properties of ATP that makes it good at energy storage
- Energy released in small managable amounts
- Small soluble molecule so it can be easily transported
- Easily broken down, so energy easily released
- Can transfer energy
- Can't pass out of the cell
- Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast
- Chloroplasts are flattened organelle
- Features of the chloroplast
- Double membrane (chloroplast envolope)
- Thylakoids
- Stacked up called Grana
- Grana linked together by lamellae
- Found on the thylakoid membranes
- Stacked up called Grana
- Photosynthetic Pigments
- Absorb light energy needed fgor photosynthesis
- Found on the thylakoid membranes
- Absorb light energy needed fgor photosynthesis
- Stroma
- Gel-like substance surrounding thylakoids
- Carbohydrates created by photosynthes stored in starch grains
- Stages of Photosynthesis
- Light-Independant
- Takes place in stroma
- Carbon dioxide from the air diffuses into the leaf through the stomata
- Then diffuses into the stroma of the chloropast
- The Carbon Dioxide combines with the 5 carbon ribulose bisphosphate using an enzyme
- This produces two 3 carbon molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate
- ATP and NADPH from the light dependant reaction activate the GP to make triose phosphate
- Produces Hydrogen Ions which are collected by electron carriers NADP to make NADPH
- NADP reformed and sent back to the light-depenant
- TP converted to useful organic products
- Most TP are used to regenerate ribulose biophosphate using ATP
- The Carbon Dioxide combines with the 5 carbon ribulose bisphosphate using an enzyme
- This produces two 3 carbon molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate

- Then diffuses into the stroma of the chloropast
- Light-Dependant
- Light energy hits the chloroplast and the chlorophyll absorb the energy
- Absorbed light energy raises electrons energy to a higher level
- The "excited" electrons leave the chlorophyll
- The excited electrons are taken up by electron carriers
- Electrons pased along a series of electron carriers
- Electrons lose energy as passed along chain
- Lost energy used to make ATP from and inorganic phosphate and ADP
- Light energy hits the chloroplast and the chlorophyll absorb the energy
- Absorbed light energy raises electrons energy to a higher level
- The "excited" electrons leave the chlorophyll
- The excited electrons are taken up by electron carriers
- Electrons pased along a series of electron carriers
- Electrons lose energy as passed along chain
- Lost energy used to make ATP from and inorganic phosphate and ADP
- Lost energy used to make ATP from and inorganic phosphate and ADP
- Electrons lose energy as passed along chain
- Electrons pased along a series of electron carriers
- Electrons need to be replaced
- Electrons come from photolysis of water.
- Produces Oxygen which is released as a waste gas
- Electrons come from photolysis of water.

- Limiting factors of Photosynthesis
- Light intensity
- Temperature
- Carbon Dioxide concentration
