Investigating the Rate of Photosynthesis: Redox Indicators The?light-dependent reactions?of photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membrane and involve the?release of high-energy electrons?from...
Limiting Factors of Photosynthesis Plants need several factors for?photosynthesis?to occur: the presence of?photosynthetic pigments a supply of?carbon dioxide a supply of?water light?energy a?suita...
Stages of the Calvin Cycle Energy from?ATP?and?hydrogen from reduced NADP?are passed from the light-dependent stage to the light-independent stage of photosynthesis The energy and hydrogen are used...
Types of Photophosphorylation The?thylakoid membrane?is the site of the?light-dependent stage?of photosynthesis During the?light-dependent?stage of photosynthesis: Light energy is used to breakdown...
Chromatography of Chloroplast Pigments Chromatography?is an experimental technique that is used to?separate mixtures: The mixture is?dissolved?in a fluid/solvent?(called the mobile phase) and the d...
Absorption Spectra & Action Spectra An?absorption spectrum?is a graph that shows the?absorbance?of different wavelengths of light by a particular pigment Chlorophylls?absorb wavelengths in the?...
Chloroplast Pigments Chloroplasts contain several different?photosynthetic pigments?within the?thylakoids, which?absorb different wavelengths of light In places, these thylakoids stack up to form s...
Thylakoids & the Stroma Plant cells contain?chloroplasts?which is the site of photosynthesis Chloroplasts are filled with a fluid known as the?stroma The?system of membranes?found in the stroma...
The Two Stages of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: the?light-dependent stage, which takes place in the?thylakoids, and the?light-independent stage, which takes place in the?strom...
