Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of energy trapped as high-energy electrons for 700-nm light absorbed by photosystem I should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The energy possessed by releasing electrons can be calculated as Gibbs free energy, by the following reaction.

ΔG=nFE

A photon can be introduced as a piece of energy which has no mass. The relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength can be expressed with the following Planck-Einstein equation.

E=hf

Photosyntheis related question (s): When protons move out of the thylakoid, are they moving up or down their concentration gradient? (From low to high concentration or from high to low concentration?)    What protein(s) facilitate the transport of protons out of the thylakoid?   We can write the formula for photosynthesis as follows: 6 H2O + 6 CO2 + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 How would you write a formula for the light reactions? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant? How would you write a formula for the Calvin cycle? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant.
