AP Biology Light Dependent Reactions – Electron Transport Chain
2
Valence Electrons
3
Energy and Atoms Third energy level (shell) Second energy level (shell) First energy level (shell) Atomic nucleus Energy absorbed Energy lost
4
Photosynthesis Light Reaction
5
Non-cyclic electron flow
6
Non-cyclic Electron Flow *** Electrons start in photosystem II, and move through Photosystem I, as they work their way to NADPH. Along the way, they help to pump H+ to allow for the creation of ATP. The electrons do not return to where they came from.*** Photosystems – protein complexes that contain chlorophyll (and other pigments). These structures funnel light energy to the Mg atom for the ETC. Accessory proteins – these help to move excited electrons down the ETC in a series of REDOX reactions.
7
Redox reaction
8
Where it is occurring?
9
Water and Photosystems 1 and 2
10
Cyclic electron flow
11
Cyclic Electron Flow *** Electrons start in photosystem I and move through several accessory proteins. The main function of these electrons is to pump H+ so that ATP can be made. These electrons DO return to where they came from.*** Photosystems – protein complexes that contain chlorophyll (and other pigments). These structures funnel light energy to the Mg atom for the ETC. Accessory proteins – these help to move excited electrons down the ETC in a series of REDOX reactions.
12
Where it is occurring?
13
More surface srea = More energy
14
(How many electrons are in Mg’s outer shell?) Chlorophyll A or B molecule.
15
Answer: 2 Those 2 electrons will leave Mg and enter into the Electron Transport Chain.
16
Photosystem and collecting sunlight energy.
17
Non-cyclic electron flow
