NON CYCLIC

PHOSPHORYLATIO
N
●Involves both the photosystems.
●Light is absorbed by PS II (with
wavelength 680nm)
●Electrons in chlorophyll get activated
– photoactivation.
●Electrons pass the transport chain and
produce ATP
 ●Photosystem II contains water
splitting enzyme (oxygen evolving
PHOTOL complex) that initiates the photolysis
+ -
Y-SIS OF ● H2O → 2H + 2e + ½O2
WATER ●The excited electrons now are passed into photosystem I
●In photosystem I – electrons undergo
photoactivation and pass the electron
transport chain.
●These electrons combine with H+ and
the carrier molecule - form reduced
NADP
●Reduced NADP is sent to light
independent stage –to synthesize
carbohydrate.
END ●End products of light dependent
PRODUCTS stage can be deduced as
+
OF LIGHT ●12 H2O + 12 NADP + 18 ADP +
DEPENDEN 18 Pi + light and chlorophyll
T STAGE 6 O2 + 12 NADPH + 18 ATP.
LIGHT ●ATP and reduced NADP are used to
convert CO2 in to carbohydrate.
INDEPE ●Reactions takes place in the stroma
-NDENT ●Also called as Calvin cycle.
STAGE
●CO2 reacts with Ribulose
bisphosphate to form 5C compound
●Enzyme (rubisco) catalyzes this
reaction
●Broken down to Glycerate 3
phosphate (GP)
●Uses ATP and forms triose phosphate
(TP).
INTERMED ● Hexose phosphate – to make starch, sucrose and cellulose.
I-ATES OF ● Glycerol and fatty acids – cellular membranes.

CALVIN ● Amino acids- protein synthesis.
