Photophosphorylation — through light dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane The production of ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Only two sources of energy are available to living organisms: sunlight and reduction… … Wikipedia
Light-dependent reaction — The initial stage of the photosynthetic system is the light dependent reaction, which converts solar energy into potential energy. The light dependent reaction produces oxygen gas and converts ADP and NADP+ intothe energy carriers ATP and… … Wikipedia
photosystem I — The photosystem in eucaryotic cells that absorbs longer wavelength light, usually greater than about 680 nm, and transfers the energy to chlorophyll P700 during photosynthesis; it is involved in both cyclic photophosphorylation and noncyclic… … Dictionary of microbiology
Photosystem — Photosystems (ancient Greek: phos = light and systema = assembly) are protein complexes involved in photosynthesis. They are found in the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria (in plants and algae these are located in the… … Wikipedia
photosystem II — The photosystem in eucaryotic cells that absorbs shorter wavelength light, usually less than 680 nm, and transfers the energy to chlorophyll P680 during photosynthesis; it participates in noncyclic photophosphorylation … Dictionary of microbiology

Thylakoid — A Thylakoid is a membrane bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The word thylakoid is derived from the Greek thylakos , meaning sac . Thylakoids consists of… … Wikipedia
Light-dependent reactions — of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane See also: Light independent reactions The light dependent reactions , or light reactions, are the first stage of photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture and store energy from sunlight. In… … Wikipedia
