Bio1332 Biochemistry - Lecture Twenty - Photosynthesis - Quiz

By the end of the lecture you will; understand the light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis. understand how light absorption by chlorophyll induces electron transfer. understand how two photosystems (PS I and PS II) generate a proton gradient and NADPH. understand how the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane drives ATP synthesis. understand how the NADPH and ATP produced by the light reactions is used to fix CO2
