  2. Photosynthetic reaction centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_reaction_centre

    Photosystem II is present on the thylakoid membranes inside chloroplasts, the site of photosynthesis in green plants. [9] The structure of Photosystem II is remarkably similar to the bacterial reaction center, and it is theorized that they share a common ancestor. The core of Photosystem II consists of two subunits referred to as D1 and D2 ...

  3. Dihydroxyanthraquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxyanthraquinone

    A dihydroxyanthraquinone is any of several isomeric organic compounds with formula (C 12 H 6 (OH) 2)(CO) 2, formally derived from 9,10-anthraquinone by replacing two hydrogen atoms by hydroxyl groups. Dihyroxyantraquinones have been studied since the early 1900s, and include some compounds of historical and current importance.

  4. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    In anoxygenic photosynthesis, various electron donors are used. Cytochrome b 6 f and ATP synthase work together to produce ATP (photophosphorylation) in two distinct ways. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, cytochrome b 6 f uses electrons from PSII and energy from PSI [citation needed] to pump protons from the stroma to the lumen. The ...

  5. 1,3-Dihydroxyanthraquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,3-Dihydroxyanthraquinone

    1,3-Dihydroxyanthraquinone, also called purpuroxanthin or xanthopurpurin, is an organic compound with formula C 14 H 8 O 4 that occurs in the plant Rubia cordifolia (Indian madder). [1] It is one of ten dihydroxyanthraquinone isomers.

  6. Photosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem

    Oxygenic photosynthesis can be performed by plants and cyanobacteria; cyanobacteria are believed to be the progenitors of the photosystem-containing chloroplasts of eukaryotes. Photosynthetic bacteria that cannot produce oxygen have only one photosystem, which is similar to either PSI or PSII .

  7. 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone

    1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone, also called quinizarin or Solvent Orange 86, is an organic compound derived from anthroquinone. Quinizarin is an orange or red-brown crystalline powder. It is formally derived from anthraquinone by replacement of two hydrogen atoms by hydroxyl (OH) groups.

  8. 1,5-Dihydroxyanthraquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,5-Dihydroxyanthraquinone

    1,5-Dihydroxyanthraquinone is an organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 3 OH) 2 (CO) 2. It is one of several isomers of dihydroxyanthraquinone . An orange solid, it is a component of traditional Chinese medications. [ 3 ]

  9. Photophosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophosphorylation

    So, in the presence of light, synthesis of food is called 'photosynthesis'. Noncyclic photophosphorylation through light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. In the process of photosynthesis, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Cyclic ...
