Pigments, Chloroplasts, and NADP+


Do Now:
What is the difference between the colors of light in terms of wavelength, frequency, and energy intensity?

Today in class we discussed:
- The role of pigments in photosynthesis: Chlorophyll a, b, Carotene, and Xanthophyll
- The anatomy of the chloroplast: Thylakoid membranes, Grana, Stroma
- The role of NADP+ - NADPH as an electron carrier in photosynthesis

We also continued presentations from reading assignments.

Homework for Wednesday
- Study sections 8.1, 8.2, and first part of 8.3 for quiz on Wednesday
