8.1 Photosynthesis: An Overview
| morris2e_ch8_2.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Photosynthesis is widely distributed.
| morris2e_ch8_3.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Photosynthesis is a redox reaction.
| morris2e_ch8_4.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The photosynthetic electron transport chain takes place on specialized membranes.
| morris2e_ch8_5.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The incorporation of CO2 is catalyzed by the enzyme rubisco.
| morris2e_ch8_7.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
NADPH is the reducing agent of the Calvin cycle.
| morris2e_ch8_8.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The regeneration of RuBP requires ATP.
| morris2e_ch8_9.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The steps of the Calvin cycle were determined using radioactive CO2.
| morris2e_ch8_10.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch.

8.3 Capturing Sunlight Into Chemical Forms
| morris2e_ch8_12.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Chlorophyll is the major entry point for light energy in photosynthesis.
| morris2e_ch8_13.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Photosystems use light energy to drive the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
| morris2e_ch8_14.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The photosynthetic electron transport chain connects two photosystems.
| morris2e_ch8_15.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The accumulation of protons in the thylakoid lumen drives the synthesis of ATP.
| morris2e_ch8_16.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Cyclic electron transport increases the production of ATP.

8.4 Challenges to Photosynthetic Efficiency
| morris2e_ch8_18.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Excess light energy can cause damage.
| morris2e_ch8_19.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Photorespiration leads to a net loss of energy and carbon.
| morris2e_ch8_20.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Photosynthesis captures just a small percentage of incoming solar energy.

8.5 The Evolution of Photosynthesis
| morris2e_ch8_22.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Case 1: How did early cells use sunlight to meet their energy requirements?
| morris2e_ch8_23.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
The ability to use water as an electron donor in photosynthesis evolved in cyanobacteria.
| morris2e_ch8_24.html | 55c1070b757a2ef415000001 |
Eukaryotic organisms are believed to have gained photosynthesis by endosymbiosis.
