The definitions of the following terminologies:

a. Photosynthesis

b. Photosystem

c. Reaction center

d. PSI

e. PSII

Introduction:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process wherein plants convert the light energy into the chemical energy. This is a multistage process involving various plant organelles. Further, in order to understand the photosynthesis process better, some of the terms commonly associated with the process are required to be studied, for example, reaction center, photosystem, and certain others.

QUESTION 1 1.1 Draw a schematic diagram of the components of the electron transport chain, depicting the enzymes and components of the chain. The site of inhibition of well known inhibitors should also be indicated 1.2 Draw a diagram of the antioxidant metabolism involved in reactive oxygen species (superoxide, hydroxyl free radicals and hydrogen peroxide) with the electron transport chain as the origin.
Question 1: The overall process enabled by the glyoxylate cycle is: (2acetyl-CoA) + (NAD+) + (2H2O) → (succinate) + (2CoA) + (NADH) + (2H+) Dissect this process further by writing down all of the reactions that are actually involved in making one succinate from two acetyl-CoA units. Show chemical structure for all intermediates.
Why does rubisco have such a low catalytic rate (that is, why is it so slow)?
