Document Summary

Photoautotrophs organism using light as energy source and co2 as carbon source. Convert sunlight energy into chemical energy and use it to assemble simple inorganic raw materials into complex organic molecules. Use some organic molecules they make as own energy source. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy. 6co2 + 12h2o + light energy c6h12o6 + 6o2 +6h2o. Light-dependent reactions capture of light energy by pigment molecules and utilization of that energy to synthesize both nadph and atp. Light-independent reactions (calvin cycle) electrons and protons carried by nadph and energy of atp hydrolysis used to convert co2 into carbohydrate. Both light dependent and calvin cycle take place in chloroplast. Outer membrane covers the entire organelle surface. Thylakoids stacks of them make up granum. Wavelength absorption varies structure of the pigment. Porphyrin ring light-absorbing head of molecule (mg in centre) Hydrocarbon tail interacts with hydrophobic regions of proteins inside thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
