PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Process where energy from light is used to make glucose from water
and carbon dioxide is converted to chemical energy
2 types of photosynthesis:
(i) Light-Dependent Reaction
(ii) Light-Independent Reaction
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Light-Dependent Light-Independent
Reaction: Reaction:
Needs light energy Doesn’t use light but rely
Takes place in the on the product of light-
tylakoid membrane of the dependent reaction
chloroplast Takes place in the stroma
of the chloroplast
Calvin Cycle
Cyclic Non-cyclic
Photophosph Photophosphoryl
orylation ation
CYCLIC PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION
ADP + Pi
ATP
CYCLIC PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION
CO₂ fixation:
As a coenzyme
Reduced
Carries proton and high energy electrons
From photosystem – light stage
From thylakoid membrane
To stroma (Calvin cycle) Regeneration of NADP
