AP Biology Photosynthesis Part 2
Valence Electrons
Energy and Atoms Third energy level (shell) Energy absorbed Second energy level (shell) First energy level (shell) Energy lost Atomic nucleus
Photosynthesis Light Reaction
Non-cyclic electron flow
Cyclic electron flow
Where it is occurring?
More surface srea = More energy
Water and Photosystems 1 and 2
(How many electrons are in Mg’s outer shell (How many electrons are in Mg’s outer shell?) Chlorophyll A or B molecule.
Answer: 2 Those 2 electrons will leave Mg and enter into the Electron Transport Chain.
Photosystem and collecting sunlight energy.
Non-cyclic electron flow
Redox reaction
H+ (protons) being pumped into the thylakoid to “build” potential energy.
Non-cyclic electron flow
Cyclic electron flow
Cytochrome C ALL organisms have this important proton pumping protein
Potential Energy
Turning Potential energy into Kinetic energy to make ATP
Chemiosmosis and Energy Coupling.
Photosynthesis Light Reaction converts Sunlight into chemical energy
Calvin Cycle uses chemical energy to build sugar
