The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Photosystem I and Photosystem II. Difference # Photosystem I: 1. The system is located in the non-appressed part of grana thylakoids as well as stroma thylakoids. 2. Chlorophyll: carotenoid content is high. 3. Chlorophyll a content is more than twice that of chlorophyll b. 4. Its photo Centre is P70C. [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Photorespiration and Normal Respiration. Difference # Photorespiration: 1. It occurs only inside photosynthetic cells. 2. Photorespiration takes place only in the presence of light. 3. It is pronounced in C3 plants and negligible in C4 plants. 4. In photorespiration uptake of oxygen and evolution of carbon dioxide are light dependent. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Photochemical and Biosynthetic Phase of Photosynthesis. Photochemical Phase (Light or Hill Reaction): It occurs inside the thylakoids, especially those of grana region. Photochemical step is dependent upon light. The function of this phase is to produce assimilatory power consistÂing of reduced coenzyme NADPH and energy rich ATP molecules. Photochemical phase involves the [...]
