4. Palisade Cell

5. Chloroplast Cross Section

6. Plastid Pigment types

8. Light Dependent Rundown
- Water is heated using photons of light
-Hydrogen ions are separated from water
- H ions travel down the electron transport chain
-ADP + H= ATP
-NADP+H=NADPH
-ATP and NADPH drive the Calvin Cycle
-Oxygen is byproduct
Photosystem I- ATP is created
Photosystem II- NADPH is created

9. Dark Reaction of Photosynthesis
-3 Carbon Dioxide molecules enter the cycle
-ATP and NADPH are used to combine the carbon dioxide molecules together.
-Glucose molecules can then be combined into units of 3’s to create different sugar types. Glucose, Fructose, etc
