Document Summary

Photosynthesis is not universal to flowering plants, or even plants. The formula for photosynthesis is a gross oversimplification. Chlorophyll is found in membrane of thylakoids (multiple thylakoids make up the grana) Chlorophyll - *recognize chlorophyll molecules. (slight differences in side branches) Is hydrophobic dissolves in lipids, like the thylakoid membrane. Phaeophytin is a variation on chlorophyll, does not have the magnesium atom. Used to be called light and dark rxns, but that"s not accurate because the (cid:498)dark(cid:499) rxn doesn"t. Photosynthesis is made up of light dependant reactions and light independent reactions. happen at night. The part of photosynthesis that takes h2o and splits it : h2o h+ e- + o2. Light dependant reactions are essentially a series of oxidation reduction reactions. Energy source that dries photosynthesis is light. Chlorophyll is where this happens in the thylakoids. Uses energy from light to split water. See absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a & b. Light travels as photons, energy is absorbed by chlorophyll.
