Hydrogen

400

collection of 200-300 molecules engaging in the light reaction

nadp

water

400

two 3 carbon molecules produced in the first stage of calvin cycle 

3 phosphoglycerate PGA

500

chlorophyll containing plastids of Eukaryotes

chloroplasts

500

Photosystem activated by light of wavelength up to 700 nm

photosystem 1

500


Mechanism begins with photsystem 2- purple is reaction centre, in reaction centre is p680

Photon from sunlight enters the photosystem and it hits the light harvesting complexes and bounces like a wave till it gets to p680

P680 needs an electron and it gets that electron from water, the photon excites the electron and it moves up in energy state into electron acceptor

Moves through the electron transport chain through proteins Plastiquone (Pq) (an electron carrier), a cytochrome complex, a protein – plastocyanin (Pc) until it gets to photosystem 1

As it travels the energy is lowered and this get absorbed by atp

500

product, electron source and last electron acceptor in cyclic phosphorylation
