1. PHOTOSYNTHESIS

3. Membrane holding together Thylakoids & Grana is called the LAMELLAE

4. THYLAKOID MEMBRANE THYLAKOID SPACE or LUMEN

5. PIGMENTS ARE IMBEDDED IN THE MEMBRANE IN CLUSTERS CALLED PHOTOSYSTEMS

6. THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IN LIGHT IS DETERMINED BY ITS WAVELENGTH  THIS ALSO DETERMINES THE COLOUR OF LIGHT

9. PHOTOSYNTHESIS OVERVIEW LIGHT REACTIONS DARK REACTIONS

10. LIGHT REACTIONS

14. ENERGY HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED FROM SOLAR OR RADIANT ENERGY (light) INTO CHEMICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY ( PQ ) JUST AS IN THE ETC IN RESPIRATION THE ELECTRONS ARE THEN MOVED FROM ONE PROTEIN TO ANOTHER ALONG THE MEMBRANE THIS CAUSES H+ TO BE PUMPED INTO THE LUMEN

15. EVENTUALLY THE ELECTRONS REACH NADPH REDUCTASE – WHICH ATTACHES THE ELECTRONS AND SOME H+ TO NADP+ CREATING NADPH H+ THAT BUILDS UP IN THE LUMEN CREATE AN ELECTROCHEMICAL GRADIENT . AS THIS EQUALIZES THE H+ PASS THROUGH ATP Synthase AND CATALYZE ADP + Pi  ATP
