CYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW
|
CYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW
|
Step one
|
Electrons become photoexcited within ps1 because of light energy absorbed by pigments
|
Step two
|
P700 electrons leave molecule, trapped by pea
|
Step three
|
Electrons passed along ETC of Fd -> cytochrome complex -> Pc -> p700 rxn center
|
Step four
|
ATP generated
|
NONCYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW
|
NONCYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW
|
Step one
|
Pigments absorb energy and channel it to the p680 reaction center
|
Step two
|
P680 chlorophyll a's electrons become excited, leave the molecule and are trapped by p.e.a.
|
Step three
|
E- that left the chlorophyll is replaced by h2o being split. left O combines with another, creating O2
|
Step four
|
Goes to P1 through ETC (plastoquinone (pq), cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin (pc)
|
Step five
|
Exergonic fall of electrons to lower energy level provides energy for synthesis of ATP
|
Sidestep six
|
LE energizes p700 chlorophyll a molecule in p1, and the hole left by the pea is filled by e- that gets to bottom of etc from p2
|
Step seven
|
Photoexcited electons are passed from ps1's pea down a second ETC through ferredoxin (Fd)
|
Step eight
|
Enzyme NADP+ reductase transfers electrons from Fd to NADP+. Two e- are required for its reduction to NADPH.
