BiologyPhotsyntheseA2/A-levelAQA Created by: Former MemberCreated on: 06-11-13 12:31 Photosystem A protien and photosynthetic pigment structure found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in plants and algea. 1 of 14 NADP A coenzyme involved in photosyntheses. It transfers hydrogen from one molecule another. 2 of 14 Light dependent reaction The first stage of photosynthesis. Light energy is absorbed by photosynthetic pigments and converted to ATP and reduced NADP. 3 of 14 Light independent reaction (Calvin cycle) The second stage of photosynthesis. Here ATP and reduced NADP (from the light-dependent stage) are used to make glucose from carbon dioxide. 4 of 14 Photophosphorylation The process of adding phosphate to a molecule using light energy. 5 of 14 Photolysis The splitting (lysis) of a molecule using light (photo) energy. This occurs during the light-depndent stage of photosynthesis. 6 of 14 Electron transport chain A chain of protiens through which excited electrons flow. 7 of 14 Thylakoid membrane The light-dependent reaction during photosynthesis, takes place here. 8 of 14 Photosynthetic Pigments Coloured substances that absorb the light energy needed for photosynthesis. 9 of 14 Electron carrier Protiens that transfer electrons. 10 of 14 Stroma The light-independent reaction during photosynthesis, takes place here. 11 of 14 Chemiosmosis The process where the movement of protons across a membrane generates ATP. 12 of 14 Excited Electrons gain energy and move to a higher energy level. 13 of 14 Photosynthesis The process where energy from light is used to make glucose from water and carbon dioxide. 14 of 14
