Learning Objectives for "Light-Dependent Reactions"

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

 

 

1. Briefly describe the overall function of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis and state where in the chloroplast they occur.

2. State the reactants and the products for the light-dependent reactions.

3. Describe an antenna complex and state the function of the reaction center.

4. Briefly describe the overall function of Photosystem II in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

5. Briefly describe how ATP is generated by chemiosmosis during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

6. Briefly describe the overall function of Photosystem I in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

7. Compare noncyclic photophosphorylation and cyclic photophosphorylation in terms of Photosystems involved and products produced.
