Photophosphorylation is the process of creating ATP using a Proton gradient created by the Energy gathered from sunlight. The process of creating the Proton gradient resembles that of the electron transport chain of Respiration. But since formation of this proton gradient is light-dependent, the process is called Photophosphorylation.
Chemiosmosis - Chemiosmosis is the process of using Proton movement to join ADP and Pi. This is accomplished by enzymes called ATP synthases or ATPases. The CF1-ATPase of the Thylakoid membrane is shown on the left (DIAGRAM IN LINK). As protons pass through this enzyme ADP and Pi are joined to make ATP. The movement of the Protons through this enzyme provides the Energy needed to make ATP
What else can I help you with?
What formed of energy is stored at the end of photosynthesis?
Chemical energy
What energy transformation occurs in green plants during photosyntesis?
The Light energy is transformed into chemical energy which gets stored in the chemical bonds of energy rich compound glucose that is formed as a result of photosynthesis
What simple sugar formed from photosynthesis produces the vast majority of what chemical for humans?
Glucose from photosynthesis provides the vast majority of chemical energy to living things.
What happends to food energy during photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis, plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy from the food is stored in the glucose molecule for later use by the plant, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere.
What are the products formed during the photosynthesis?
The main goal of photosynthesis is to produce chemical energy that the plant can use. In the process, carbon dioxide and water are also produced.
What is the role of energy in photosynthesis?
The energy formed in the light reactions of photosynthesis is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin cycle (dark reactions).
What is the oxygen formed during photosynthesis called?
Oxygen formed during photosynthesis is the gas O2.
What is chemical energy and how is energy formed?
Chemical energy is produced through reactions that occur in chemical compounds. A chemical compound is a simple collection of many atoms that are bound to each other. As the bonds between these atoms loosens or breaks, a chemical reaction will occur, and new compounds are created. When the bonds break or loosen, oxidation occurs almost instantly.
Where is energy formed?
Energy is formed through processes such as photosynthesis in plants, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy. It is also formed through the combustion of fossil fuels, where chemical energy stored in the fuels is released as heat and light energy. In nuclear reactions, energy is formed by splitting atoms (fission) or fusing atoms together (fusion).
How this energy formed?
Energy hasn't been formed since the creation of matter. However, energy is present in atoms and can be released during chemical or nuclear reactions.
Where is chemical potential energy stored?
Chemical potential energy is stored in chemical bonds between atoms and molecules. When these bonds are broken or formed during a chemical reaction, energy is released or absorbed.
How chemical energy formed and use?
Chemical energy is formed when bonds between atoms are broken or formed during chemical reactions. This energy is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules and is released when these bonds are broken, providing the energy needed for various biological processes like metabolism, muscle contractions, and nerve impulses. Living organisms use chemical energy from the food they consume to power their cells and sustain life.
