Document Summary

Calvin cycle reactions produce sugar from co2. Light dependent reactions produce o2 from h2o: the reactions are linked by electrons. When water is split to form oxygen gas. Then transferred to the electron carrier nadp+ forming nadph: calvin cycle then uses these electrons and the pe in atp to reduce co2 to sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of green plants, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms. Thylakoids are internal membranes of chloroplasts that form flattened vesicle like structures: form stacks called grana, thylakoid membranes contain large quantities of pigments. Most common is chlorophyll: calvin cycle occurs in the stroma-fluid filled space between the thylakoids and the inner membrane. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy: light is a type of electromagnetic radiation energy, acts both particle like and wave like. Photons: as a particle light exists in discrete packets, as a wave, light can be characterized by its wavelength or the distance between two successive wave crests.
