Document Summary

Review of photosynthesis: energy transduction reactions, carbon fixation rxns, Rubisco & photorespiration, c3 vs. c4 vs. cam pathways. Carbon fixation rxns (use co2, produce sugar, use atp and nadh that came from energy transduction reactions) Reduction- reduced= pgal g3p (product of calvin cycle) Binds to o2=photorespiration= salvage pathway, salvaging c!, carbon got fixed into not useful metabolite. C4 vs. cam- minimize the occurrence of photorespiration. In both pathways calvin cycle still happens, pathway that proceeds calvin cycle (c4 pathway= makes a 4 c compound) In c4 separated spatially, in a cell closer to leaf surface, fixes carbon (not using rubisco- more substrate specific), co2 is released from molecule, spoon fed to rubisco. Cam happens at night co2 gets fixed, stomata closed in the day to protect against water lost. Proton gradients are used to phosphorylate adp in both mitochondria and in chloroplasts.
