Document Summary

Production of organic food molecules by using light energy & inorganic carbon from co2. 243 billion metric tons of dry biomass in a year. Chemical energy: a form of potential energy stored in chemical bonds. The mesophyll (tissue in middle of leaves) is the major photosynthetic tissue of the plant. Chlorophyll (a pigment) embedded in the inner membrane makes it green! The thylakoids are where the light reactions occur. The stroma is where the calvin cycle occurs. The two energy transporting molecules of photosynthesis are atp & They are produced during the light reactions and used up during the. A photosystem is where light absorption causes electron excitement occur. Photosystems contain: clusters of pigments, & a reaction center chlorophyll . a molecule & a primary electron acceptor. 2 photosystems & one electron transport chain etc. Water is used up / oxygen is produced.
