In cell respiration, NAD+ and FAD were our “electron taxis”
In photosynthesis, a different molecule will play this role…
NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)

The light The light spectrumspectrum
• Light = electromagnetic radiation
• Travels in waves• Distance between crests is the
wavelength ()• The entire range of radiation
is the electromagnetic spectrum
• Wavelength of visible light is between 380 nm and 750 nm
• Light can also be thought of in terms of energy particles called photons
• The energy of a photon is inversely related to its wavelength
![Page 11: Photosynthesis: Where would we be without it? Where’d we leave off? In cellular respiration, cells use the energy stored in _______ (and other biomolecules)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032606/56649e925503460f94b982bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Light’s energy Light’s energy is captured by is captured by
pigments in the pigments in the chloroplastschloroplasts
• The primary pigment, chlorophyll a, absorbs primarily blue and red light – and reflects green
• Accessory pigments, like chlorophyll b and carotenoids, widen the spectrum of light effectively absorbed by plants

The pigments are located in The pigments are located in photosystemsphotosystems
• Photosystems are collections of light-absorbing pigments (primarily chlorophyll) in the thylakoid membranes
• There are two photosystems in chloroplasts (and beware -- #2 comes before #1)
• A photon of red or blue light zaps a chlorophyll molecule and one of the electrons in the chlorophyll is elevated to an excited state – it now has more potential energy than it had before!

Calvin cycle cliff notesCalvin cycle cliff notes• Carbon enters the cycle in the form of CO2 and is
reduced to glucose. This is called carbon fixation.• CO2 is reduced when it gains electrons from NADPH.• This cycle uses energy from ATP to transfer these
high-energy electrons from NADPH to glucose.• This first step, in which CO2 is added to a 5-carbon
sugar, is catalyzed by an enzyme called rubisco – probably the single most abundant protein on the planet!
• To make one glucose molecule from six CO2, it costs 18 ATP and 12 NADPH
