TP - Foxy - Hill Reaction (photolysis phase of photosynthesis)

Photosynthesis can be broken down into 2 reactions: - The biochemical reaction of CO₂ incorporation - The photochemical reaction of water oxidation It is the latter that we will highlight by using an electron acceptor. Extract from the Official Bulletin for Terminale STL: Implement an experimental protocol (ExAO) to: - identify the energy trophic type of an organism by studying the conditions allowing its growth - locate, on a simple diagram of the light phase of photosynthesis, the roles of the electron donor H₂O and light as well as the production of ATP and reduced coenzyme. This download allows you to access two documents: - a step-by-step guide of the experiment - a summary of the experiment The two experiments presented differ very slightly.
