Photosynthesis is the process in which plants will capture light energy and convert it into a usable form via the production of various carbon sugars. photosynthesis is divided up between two different types of reactions called a light dependent reactions and the light independent reactio...
Describe how the light reactions of photosynthesis produce ATP and NADPH. What are the structural and functional differences between NADH and NADPH? Describe the role of ATP and NADPH in the Calvin cycle. How are ATP, ADP, NADP+, and NADPH cycled in photosynthesis?
Atrazineinhibits photosynthesis by competitively associating withthe plastoquinone B (QB) binding site of the D1 subunit of PSII, and therefore blocks chloroplast electron flow from plastoquinone A to QB,greatly reducing the production of ATP, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and ...
The Calvin cycle refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps. Although the Calvin Cycle is not directly dependent on light,it is indirectly dependent on lightsince the necessary energy carriers ( ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reac...
green fluorescent protein (GFP), followed by fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, we compared the results to known pathways and locations of enzymes in higher plants performing C3 or C4 photosynthesis. This approach revealed that the intracellular distribution of the investigated enzymes is quite ...
What is the role of ATP in photosynthesis? ATP synthase exploits a proton gradient to produce ATP. How is the proton gradient established? A. Water is hydrolyzed to oxygen and protons in the electron transport chain B. Energy released by the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 causes protons to diff...
The chloroplast is a type of organelle found in plant and algal cells. The main role of the chloroplast is to facilitate photosynthesis, a process where the pigment chlorophyll captures the light energy from the sun, converts it to energy in ATP and NADPH, and then uses that energy to conv...
What does the Krebs cycle produce?Krebs cycleThe Krebs cycle, or TCA cycle is a chemical pathway that releases chemical potential energy from macromolecules such as carbohydrates and lipids and turns them into ATP via oxidative phosphorylation or the electron transport chain. This pathway produces ...
How do light reactions generate ATP and NADPH? Why is PEP hydrolysis so exergonic? How are nutrients used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)? When ATP releases some energy, it also releases inorganic phosphate. What purpose does this serve in the cell? A. It can only be used to gener...
Describe how the energy in the electron is used to produce the energy-carrying molecules, NADPH and ATP. Explain the concept of an electron transport chain as it applies to photosynthesis and respiration. What work is performed as electrons are transported down ...
