NADP+ reductase: enzyme that catalyzes the reaction _______.
PEP carboxylase: enzyme that catalyzes the reaction ________.
Photorespiration: describes the “alternate” reaction that can be catalyzed by rubisco. The enzymate reaction is _____________________________ and the cost to the plant is_________________________________________.
Primary electron acceptor: present in the reaction center of photosystems. Function is to _____________________________ (use oxidize and reduce in your answer).
Reaction center: where all the chemical reactions occur in a photosystem. These reactions are ____________________________________________ (for PSI and PSII)
The reason this enzyme is called rubisco is because _______________________________________________.
Solution
Cytochrome b6f complex an enzyme found in the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts of plants. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of electrons from plastoquinol to plastocyanin.
NADP+ reductase an enzyme participate in photosynthesis and catalyzes the chemical reaction where 2 molecule of reduced ferredoxin is oxidized to 2 molecule od oxidized ferredoxin and a molecule od NADPH.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase an enzyme found in plants and some bacteria that catalyzes the addition of bicarbonate to phosphoenolpyruvate to produce the four-carbon oxaloacetate and an inorganic phosphate.
Photorespiration discusses to the process in plant metabolism where the enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, where some of the energy is wasted which are produced by photosynthesis.
light reduces the P700 in photo system I and P680 in photo system II which are the primary electron acceptor
