The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green

Photosytem II (PSII)
2 main components
Light-harvesting complex or antenna complex Directly absorbs photons Energy transferred via resonance energy transfer to P680 in the reaction center Reaction center P680 P680* (Relatively unstable) P680* actually releases its high-energy electron to the primary electron acceptor and becomes P680+(more stable). P680 has to be regenerated, by replacing the electron so P680 can work again: : This missing electron of P680+ is replaced with a low-energy electron from water which yields oxygen gas

D1 and D2, contain the reaction center that carries out the redox reactions CP43 and CP47, bind the pigment molecules that form the light-harvesting complex wrap around D1 and D2 so that pigments in CP43 and CP47 can transfer energy to P680 by resonance energy transfer. Pp: primary electron acceptor: a chlorophyll molecule lacking Mg2+, called pheophytin (Pp). QA:plastoquinone molecule, designated QA QB another plastoquinone molecule which can accept two high-energy electrons and bind two H+. QB can diffuse away from the reaction center.

The oxidation of water occurs in a region called the manganese cluster. This site is located on the side of D1 that faces the thylakoid lumen. The manganese cluster has four Mn2+, one Ca2+, and one Cl. Two water molecules bind to this site. D1 catalyzes the removal of four low-energy electrons from the two water molecules to create four H+ and O2. Each low-energy electron is transferred, one at a time, to an amino acid in D1 (a tyrosine, Tyr) and then to P680+ to produce P680. 30

O2 produced in thylakoid lumen by oxidation of H2O by PSII 2 electrons transferred to P680+ ATP produced in stroma by H+ electrochemical gradient (chemiosmosis) due to: 1. Splitting of water places H+ in the lumen 2. High-energy electrons move from PSII to PSI, pumping H+ into the lumen 3. Formation of NADPH consumes H+ in the stroma NADPH produced in the stroma from high-energy electrons that start in PSII and boosted in PSI NADP+ + 2 electrons + H + NADPH

FSI
When light strikes the light-harvesting complex of PSI, this energy is also transferred to a reaction center, where a high-energy electron is removed from a pigment molecule, designated P700, and transferred to a primary electron acceptor. A protein called ferredoxin (Fd) can accept two high-energy electrons, one at a time, from the primary electron acceptor. Fd then transfers the two electrons to the enzyme NADP+ reductase. This enzyme transfers the two electrons to NADP+ and together with a H+ creates NADPH. The formation of NADPH results in fewer H+ in the stroma and thereby contributes to the formation of a H + electrochemical gradient across the 35 thylakoid membrane.
Chemiosmosis
Synthesis of ATP in chloroplasts is achieved by a chemiosmotic mechanism similar to that used to make ATP in mitochondria. ATP synthesis is driven by the flow of H+ from the thylakoid lumen into the stroma via ATP synthase + A H gradient is generated in three ways: (1) the splitting of water, which places H+ in the thylakoid lumen; (2) the movement of high-energy electrons from photosystem II to photosystem I, which pumps H + into the thylakoid lumen 36 (3) the formation of NADPH, which consumes H+ in the stroma.

CO2 incorporation
Also called Calvin-Benson cycle Requires massive input of energy: For every 6 CO2 incorporated, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH used Glucose is not directly made. Instead, molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which are products of the Calvin cycle, are used as starting materials for the synthesis of glucose and other molecules, including sucrose. After glucose molecules are
made, they may be linked together to form a polymer of glucose called starch, which is stored in the chloroplast for later use. Alternatively, the disaccharide sucrose may be made and transported out of the leaf to other parts of the plant.

C4 plants
In warm and dry climates, C4 plants have an advantage. During the day, they can keep their stomata partially closed to conserve water. Furthermore, they can avoid photorespiration. C4 plants are well adapted to habitats with high daytime temperatures and intense sunlight. 56 Examples of C4 plants are sugarcane, crabgrass, and corn.
CAM plants
Some C4 plants separate processes using time Crassulacean Acid Metabolism CAM plants open their stomata at night CO2 enters and is converted to malate Stomata close during the day to conserve water Malate broken down into CO2 to drive Calvin cycle

Both fix CO2 into a C4 compound Then CO2 is transferred to the Calvin cycle
In warm dry climates C4 plants have the advantage in conserving water and preventing photorespiration
In cooler climates, C3 plants use less energy to fix CO2 90% of plants are C3
