Chapter 9, Problem 3TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. The process of conversion of light energy to the chemical energy occurs in the two phases of reactions, that is, the light-dependent reaction and carbon fixation reaction (dark reactions).

Per NADH consumed by Complex I, indicate the number for each, AS those
reducing equivalents flow through the electron transport chain. In other words,
if "XYZ" molecule gets reduced at one step and then re-oxidized at the next
step, that would count as 1 XYZ reduced. Think Total not Net.

- Daniel Arnon and coworkers carried out experiments with intact, salt- washed chloroplasts to study photophosphorylation. When the chloroplasts were illuminated in the presence of ADP +P, ATP was produced, but oxygen was not produced or nor consumed. ATP formation was not accom- panied by a measurable electron transport involving any external electron donor or acceptor. The overall reaction for this result is: ADP + P -", ATP When NADP+ was included in addition to the ADP + P, ilumination of the intact chloroplats again resulted in resulted in the photophosphorylation of ADP to ATP. In addition, the NADPpt was reduced to NADPH + H* and o, was produced. Moreover, the light-induced reduction of NADP* was greatly decreased if ADP + P; were ommitted. The equation for this reaction is: NADP* + H,0 + ADP + R -", NADPH + H + ATP + }02 Briefly describe the mechanism(s) of these two types of photophosphoryla- tion that explain all of these results.arrow_forwardFigure 4.15 Cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, a component of the electron transport chain.
