What does it involve?
Capture of light energy to add inorganic phosphate (Pi) to ADP to make ATP and to split water into H+ ions (protons) and OH- ions.
1 of 27
What is this splitting of water caused by?
Light and so if referred to as photolysis
2 of 27
What 3 products does the LDR produce?
ATP, Reduced NADP and oxygen- non cyclic
3 of 27
Oxidation?
When a substance loses electrons, combines with oxygen or loses hydrogen (energy is given out)
4 of 27
Reduction
When a substance gains electrons, loses oxygen, or gains hydrogen (energy is taken in)
5 of 27
Making ATP?
Chlorophyll molecule absorbs light energy in p2, Energy level of 2 electrons raised and the electrons leave the chlorophyll molecule and pass to an electron carrier
6 of 27
Then?
Energy to phosphorylate ADP
7 of 27
How is water split?
using light energy
8 of 27
What does this yield?
Hydrogen ions (protons) electrons and oxygen
9 of 27
EQN?
2H2O= 4H+ + 4E- + O2
10 of 27
How is light also absorbed?
By chlorophyll in photosystem 1
11 of 27
What happens next?
Electrons leave this molecule and again pass down a series of carriers
12 of 27
What are they used together with?
Hydrogen ions from the photolysis of water to produce reduced NADP
13 of 27
What does the oxygen produced do?
Either used in respiration or diffuses out of the leaf as a waste product
14 of 27
1st step&2nd
photons of light hitting accessory pigments passed to primary pigments raised energy level in chlorophyll A molecule loses e-=photoionisation and chlorophyll oxidised
15 of 27
step 3,
electrons picked up by primary electron acceptor- protein sat in thylakoid membrane close to where c A molecule is- same energy level.
16 of 27
4
passes down ETC of progressively lower energy level so e- reduce in energy level so e- carriers release energy lost to generate ATP in chemiosmosis
17 of 27
5?
e- lost from p2 replaced by e- from photolysis where water split into 3 parts
18 of 27
6(for p1)
repeat 1-3
19 of 27
7
picked up by carrier NADP combine with 2H+ to reduce NADPneeded for LIR
20 of 27
Where does p1 receive its replacement electrons from?
P2
21 of 27
products?
ATP, reduced NADP
22 of 27
What is this used in?
LIR transported into storm to convert inorganic CO2 into COH carbohydrate using ATP
23 of 27
What builds up H+ gradient in chemiosmosis?
Pump h+ ions in and photolysis builds up high conc h+ in thylakoid space. then 2h+ + 2e- + NADP = NADPH
24 of 27
/Step 1 of chemiosmosis?
energy from electrons moving down etc is used by proton pump to AT h ions into inter-thylakoid space
25 of 27
2
H ions from photolysis also contribute to the proton gradient
26 of 27
3
h ions move through ATP synthase channel (only way through)/pathway changing its configuration leading to synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi
