Photosynthesis
Basic Photosynthesis
Write an equation with all the words in this picture.
Chlorophyll
Pigments that absorbs light.
Also…Carotene
(orange)Xanthophyll
(yellow)Anthocyanin
(blue/purple)
Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, while reflecting
green
Chlorophyll a vs. b
They complement each other.
Shade of green is dependent on ratio of a to b.
Intermission
Two Reactions
Light ReactionDark Reaction
Also known as Light Independent Reaction
Also known as the Calvin Cycle
Light Reaction
Occurs in the granum (on the thylakoid (in the lumen (where chlorophyll is))).
Light splits water to make oxygen, a proton, and ATP.
Equation:12H2O + 12NADP + 18ADP → 6O2 + 12NADPH +
18ATP
Light Independent Reaction
Occurs in stromaATP and H+ are used to turn CO2 into glucose.Equation:
ATP + NADPH + CO2 C6H12O6 + ADP + NADP
Starch
Glucose is stored as starch (carbohydrate)Examples of starch include:
