Photosynthesis
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food Heterotrophs are organisms that need to ingest food to obtain energy
How are they related??
Autotrophs
Photosynthesis How plants (and some other organisms) use light to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar!
Happens here = chloroplast
Leaf Plant Cell chloropl ast
Chloroplasts have chlorophyll (pigment) This is why chloroplasts are green, why leaves are green
Chloroplast Lumen (inside thylakoid) Outer membrane intermembrane space Inner membrane Stroma thlakoid grana
Photosynthesis Photosystem II Photosystem I In thylakoid membrane (aka… The Calvin Cycle) In stroma
2 Photosystems in thylakoid
In thylakoid membrane P680 photons P680 ETR ATP P700 ETR ATP Photosystem IIPhotosystem I NADPH
NOTE…… Electron Carriers are NADP …… b/c can become NADPH
Hydrogen ions flow through a channel in the thylakoid membrane ATP synthase attached to the channel makes ATP How ATP made in light rxn?
