Calvin Cycle
Photosynthesis
Overall reaction:
C6H12O6+ 12H2O + 6H2O6O2 +Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:

Pigments are organized into 2 photosystems
Pigments embedded in thylakoid membrane absorb energy from sunlight and give up electrons to membrane proteins

Overall result is formation of ATP + NADPH - used in Calvin cycle to construct glucose
Movement of electrons and H+ ions leads to production of NADPH and ATP
�
Electrons released by pigments are replaced by splitting of H2O (photolysis) producing O2

- Photolysis (splitting of water by light) provides electrons to replace those lost by chlorophyll a and oxygen gas
Light ReactionsThe Specifics
- Light energy of a certain wavelength (680nm) excites chlorophyll a in photosystem II causing release of electrons

- H+ ion gradient used to power synthesis of ATP
- Just as with E.T.C., the movement of electrons through thylakoid membrane results in build up of H+ ions within thylakoid space
