Well written and developed notes, providing a detailed description and understanding on the chapter, Photosynthesis. This chapter is studied in A2 during A-Levels and discusses in depth, how plants use light energy to synthesis energy. These are electronic notes written under the lectureship of Dr. Darakhshan, an outstanding Biology teacher and Gynaecologist, teaching in Roots Millennium, Islamabad. The only notes you need for an A* in A-Level Biology!

photosynthesis


i. State the meaning of photosynthesis
light energy
coz 1- H2O carb t 02

by which coat H2O are converted to in the presence of
the process sugar
light energy and chlorophyll .
Oz is a waste product .




STAGES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
1. light dependent reaction ( LDR)
.

cyclic phosphorylation
.

cyclic phosphorylation

photolysis
2. light independent reaction : Calvin 's cycle

these are light harvesting clusters made up of photosynthetic pigment molecules

.
primary pigment is made up of chlorophyla .



Accessory pigments consist of all other
molecule
-

photo activation : it is emission of high
-


energy electrons from chloro phyla
molecule when light energy falls on it .




.


accessory pigments are present around the primary pigment in the form of a
cone They help to collect and direct light energy towards the primary pigment
.




and they avoid loss of light energy


TYPES OF PHOTOSYSTEM's
I. photosystem I or 17700

photoactivation occurs at wavelength of light energy
700hm

II. Photosystem I Or 13680 Both PI and PI are present in a thylakoid
.


.




Kitt DEPENDENT REACTION
location : thylakoid





I cyclic phosphorylation
-




ADP 1- Pi ATP presence of light
Describe cyclic PPR .




-
Only PIP 700 is involved


light energy falls on the primary pigment photoactivation center of PI
high energy electrons are emitted from chlorophyll , a molecule
.






. electrons pass through ETC located in thylakoid membrane .




.
che miosmosis occurs and ATP is made .




.
electrons fall back into PI therefore . . . .


cyclic PPR
.

product of cyclic PPR ATP only

compare tabulate state differences between oxphos and cyclic PPR .
