The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO2, using ATP and NADPH

The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO2, using ATP and NADPH

The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO2 into organic molecules

Concept 10.2: The light reactions convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH

Concept 10.2: The light reactions convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH

Chloroplasts are solar-powered chemical factories

Their thylakoids transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH

Slide 29

The Nature of Sunlight

The Nature of Sunlight

Light is a form of electromagnetic energy, also called electromagnetic radiation

Like other electromagnetic energy, light travels in rhythic waves

Wavelength is the distance between crests of waves

Wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic energy

Slide 30

The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of electromagnetic energy, or radiation

The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of electromagnetic energy, or radiation

Visible light consists of wavelengths (including those that drive photosynthesis) that produce colors we can see

Light also behaves as though it consists of discrete particles, called photons
