Photophosphorylation — through light dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane The production of ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Only two sources of energy are available to living organisms: sunlight and reduction… … Wikipedia
photophosphorylation — The synthesis of ATP that takes place during photosynthesis. In non cyclic photophosphorylation the photolysis of water produces electrons that generate a proton motive force which is used to produce ATP, the electrons finally being used to… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Thylakoid — A Thylakoid is a membrane bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The word thylakoid is derived from the Greek thylakos , meaning sac . Thylakoids consists of… … Wikipedia
Light-dependent reactions — of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane See also: Light independent reactions The light dependent reactions , or light reactions, are the first stage of photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture and store energy from sunlight. In… … Wikipedia

Light-dependent reaction — The initial stage of the photosynthetic system is the light dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into potential energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ intothe energy carriers ATP and… … Wikipedia

List of biology topics — Biology is the study of life and its processes. Biologists study all aspects of living things, including all of the many life forms on earth and the processes in them that enable life. These basic processes include the harnessing of energy, the… … Wikipedia
photosystem I — Photosynthetic system in chloroplasts in which light of up to 700nm is absorbed and its energy used to bring about charge separation in the thylakoid membrane. The electrons are passed to ferredoxin and then used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH (non… … Dictionary of molecular biology
