* Photosynthesis
6CO_2 + 6H_2 O \rightarrow 6O_2 + C_6 H_{12} O_6
** Key Players
vascular tissue (xylem and phloem)
stomata
pigment
thylakoid - disc-shaped structures (in chloroplasts) that contain chlorophyll
photosystem - group of pigments and other proteins embedded in thylakoids;
absorbs on photon
** Two Processes
Electron shuttling molecule: NADPH
*** Light-dependent reactions
Directly uses light
Chlorophyll absorbs light
Converts light \rightarrow chemical energy
Makes ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle
Light and H_2 O used
O_2 produced
*** Calvin Cycle
Produces sugar = "synthesis"
Carbon fixation
Uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions
CO_2 used
Glucose produced
** TTQ
uses water from roots \rightarrow light-dependent reactions
makes sugar \rightarrow calvin cycle
uses light directly \rightarrow light-dependent reactions
occurs in the chloroplast \rightarrow both
requires chlorophyll \rightarrow both
uses the products of the light reactions \rightarrow calvin cycle
uses cardbon dioxide \rightarrow calvin cycle
produces oxygen \rightarrow light dependent reactions
