Chapter 5.6, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Mitochondria, chloroplast, and hydrogenosomes are key energy conserving organelles. Chloroplasts possess chlorophyll and they utilize light energy for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into carbohydrates and oxygen (O2). Chloroplasts serve as a site of photosynthesis and they are bound by two membranes. The inner membrane of the chloroplast surrounds the matrix is known as stroma. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments located inside the chloroplast.

Why or why not can solar induced fluorescence be used to infer net photosynthesis?
Extension Questions
Which of the following sequences correctly represents the flow of electrons during
photosynthesis?
A) NADPH 02 → CO2
B) H₂O
NADPH →Calvin cycle
C) NADPH chlorophyll →Calvin cycle
D) H2O
E) NADPH
photosystem I → photosystem II
electron transport chain → 02
Place these events in the correct order: absorption of electromagnetic radiation by chlorophyll,
synthesis of sugars, utilization of carbon dioxide by Calvin cycle enzymes, synthesis of
NADPH, synthesis of ATP, conversion of water into molecular oxygen.
Is NADP+ oxidized or reduced during the light reactions? How do you know this?
What would you expect to happen if you inactivated the NADP+ reductase?
