3 Styles of Photosynthesis

     A. Capturing Light

     B. Use light to drive the synthesis of:

          1. ATP- Break terminal phosphate off. Result: Heat

          2. NADPH- chemical that has been REDUCED (REDOX)

Chemical Power

     C. Use ATP and NADPH (fuels) to drive the synthesis of Glucose from CO2 ( the calm sycle)

(C. is Light Independent and A &B are light dependent reactions) 

* Memorize - 6CO2 + 12 H2O ---light---- C6H206 + 6H2O + 6O2 

- Calvin cycle happens between inner and outer membrane.

Light- energy in the form of photons.

-Photons-tiny packets of energy

-Light energy is determined by wavelength-Distance between the crests or troughs.

-Nothing can travel faster than light.

Gamma Rays- Radio active or radiation.

X-Rays

UV- A-more harmful B-less harmful

     -used in tanning beds (B)

Infrared- heat vision

Microwaves- light waves 

Radio Waves- FM/AM radio waves, communication, farther to left farther you can send it and farther to the right you can be farther away. 

-Violet has the highest energy level, Red has the lowest

-Plants are never violet, they take in all the other colors and reflecting the green

-Pigment- a chemical that absorbs any portion of the light.
