Document Summary

Cells obtain energy by the oxidation of organic molecules. In the presence of o2, the most energetically stable form of carbon is co2, and that of hydrogen is water (h2o). Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions: when a substrate gains electrons, it is reduced, when a substrate loses electrons, it is oxidized. When two atoms form a polar covalent bond: atom with a lesser share of electrons: oxidized, atom with a greater share of electrons: reduced. Redox state of carbon atoms & energy of carbon-compounds. The oxidation state of carbon-containing molecules depends on the atoms it is bonded to: glucose oxidation: c6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy, carbon dioxide reduction: energy + 6co2 + 6h2o c6h12o6 + 6o2. Reduced atoms can be oxidized, releasing energy to do work: energy content in carbohydrates vs. lipids. If h is negative, a reaction is exothermic (heat released) If h is positive, a reaction is endothermic (heat absorbed)

Photosynthesis

Light Reactions:

Photosynthesis is the process of reducing/oxidizing (circle one) _____________________ to produce ___________________. This overall reduction-oxidation reaction requires _________________ to begin the flow of __________________. Photosynthetic ____________________ absorb light energy and are located in ___________________ found embedded within the membranes of __________________. The most prevalent one include the ___________________ which reflect ________________ light and absorb the other wavelengths of light. Accessory pigments include ___________________. When light energy is absorbed in photosynthesis, electrons of pigment molecules become _________________ and move into higher potential energy _______________. When the electrons return to their previous position, _____________ is passed to the ______________________ pigment molecule. Electrons within this pigment molecule move to a high potential energy state and are âgrabbedâ by _________________________ chains. Electrons from photosystem II are passed to ______________________. Electrons from photosystem I are passed to _________________. As electrons move in the electron transport chain associated with photosystem I/II (circle one), the energy released is used to power ___________ pumps and __________ is produced via a process known as ________________________.
