- Hello Everybody!! I'm so glad you could join US on our way to work this morning...
- As a photon of light energy, when I enter the Plant, everyone's excited to see me. I get everyone excited and ready for their day!
- OH MY GOODNESS!! Its my greatest friend Fia!!! I'm so excited to see you Fia
- This is Fia, Fia is a photon that works with their friends in "The Plant". This morning Fia is on the way to The Plant to free some of their friends the electrons! Fia and the workers in the Light-Dependant Department have one main job of converting light/solar energy into chemical energy that can be used by the plant. Fia is light energy that is absorbed, moved through and stored in a plant.
- H+ ION
- H+ ION
- Fia is on her way to the "Chlorophyll Molecule". The Chlorophyll Molecule is one of many in the The first Photosystem, Photosystem2. When she arrives at the Chlorophyll molecule, Fia will meet her great friend Ellie the electron. Once Ellie sees Fia and gets excited, her energy levels will rise and Ellie will be on her way
- Lumen(Thylakoid space)
- H+ ION
- Membrane pumps
- H+ ION
- WOO HOOOO!! HEY EVERYBODY!! HAVE A GREAT DAY
- Stroma
- Thanks for always being there for me Ellie, you keep me energized!
- Ellie the electron being so excited from meeting with Fia, now has the energy she needs to break free and get on her way to work, but she must first replace her space in the chlorophyll molecule...Thankfully, a couple electrons just split from some water at 'Hydrolysis Station' so Ellie can be on her way...
- When hydrolysis occurs two main things happen: O2 molecules(plant waste) gets released, aswell as H+ ions into the lumen that increase the proton gradient. The more H+ ions inside means higher concentraion gradient. The gradient is caused because all the H+ ions were pulled in by Ellies excitement and now want to get back into the stroma. To get to the stroma the H+ ions must diffuse to the other side through the ATP Synthase which creates ATP...
- ATP
- I'd like to thank each and every H+ Ion for being here , I would rruly be nothing without you...
- Ellie being so "excited" has caused the membrane pumps on her path to become quite excitable aswell. As a result, the membrane pumps begin pumping more H+ ions into the lumen of the thylakoid, creating an even HIGHER-energy proton gradient...After this Ellie continues to move on down the path to Photosystem1...
- Electron Transport Chain
- Ellie is now back to low energy and must go to Photosystem 1 to see some more of her friends. When Ellie sees her friends the photons and gets excited again, her energy is restored and she is ready to move along to the NADP reductase station. Here is where Ellie uses her energy to reduce NADP+ to NADPH....this affects the proton gradient by removing an H+ ion from the stroma, anf this is the journey of Photosynthesis pt1...
