Dehydrogenation
The removal of hydrogen from a molecule
8 of 22
Redox reaction
Reactoins involving oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gaining) *OIL RIG*
9 of 22
Coenzyme
A non-protein compund necessary for enzyme function
10 of 22
What is a coenzyme in photosynthesis?
NADP (tranfers hydrogen between molecules)
11 of 22
In what organelle does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
12 of 22
What is a 'stack' of thylakoids called?
Grana (singular=granum)
13 of 22
What links grana together?
Lamellae - bits of thylakoid membrane
14 of 22
Where is chlorophyll found?
Thylakoid membrane

16 of 22
What wavelengths to PSII and PSI absorb?
PSII = 680nm PSII = 700nm
17 of 22
Reactants and products of light-dependent reaction?
ADP, NADP, H2O; ATP, NADPH2, O2.
18 of 22
What is taken in and let out of light independent cycle.
CO2 in, one-carbon compound let out per cycle.
19 of 22
How is ATP made?
ADP + inorganic phosphate under light - photophosphorylation
20 of 22
How is reduced NADP made?
NADP + H ions. H ions from splitting water (photolysis)
21 of 22
What are the three limiting factors in photosynthesis?
Light intensity, temperature (if over 25C chlorophyll can be damaged or enzymes denature), carbon dioxide (Up to 0.4%, any higher and stoma start to close)
