Document Summary

Site of photosynthesis: occurs within cells, usually in leaf, chloroplast, thylakoid. Energy flow: photon energy, electrical energy (electron flow, proton gradient energy is built up, kinetic energy (proton flow + atp synthase rotation, atp chemical energy bond is generated, nadph carries energized electrons, no glucose yet. Dark reactions (c-b cycle: requires nadph and atp produced by light rxns, dark rxns occur in 3 phases, carbon fixation, converting inorganic carbon (co2) into organic form (pga, reduction of the carbon: Adding electrons from nadph: regeneration of co2 acceptor, rubp. Calvin benson cycle: 5-c sugar (rubp) is the co2 acceptor, combines with 1 co2 to make a transient 6-c compound, carbon fixation step, the 6-c compound immediately breaks down into two 3-c molecules, 3 pga. More about rubisco: the enzyme that accelerates the addition of co2 rubp, converts 100 billion of co2 into carbs annually, world"s most abundant enzyme, 20 pounds per human.
