Document Summary

Relate the absorption spectrum of photosynthetic pigments in a given plant with the action spectrum of photosynthesis in that plant. You can determine the wavelength of light absorbed by a pigment such as chlorophyll a by producing an absorption spectrum for that pigment using a spectrophotometer and a pure sample of the pigment. An absorption spectrum is a plot of the absorption of light as a function of wavelength. Photosynthesis depends on the absorption of light by chlorophylls and carotenoids, acting in combination. This is supported by the action spectrum for photosynthesis. (often measured as amount of o2 produced). An action spectrum is the plot of effectiveness of light of particular wavelengths in driving a process. Describe how atp is produced in the light-dependent reactions. Proton movement by the reduction-oxidation of plastoquinone creates a concentration gradient of h+ (a proton-motive force) across the thylakoid membrane.
