The Splitting of Water
• Chloroplasts split water into
– Hydrogen and oxygen, incorporating the electrons
of hydrogen into sugar molecules
Products: C6H12O6 6 H2 O 6 O2

Reaksi Terang
• Terjadi di grana
• Disebut fotolisis karena menguraikan air oleh matahari.
• Energi cahaya ditangkap molekul pigmen fotosintesis yang
tersusun dalam satu bagian yang disebut fotosistem (I dan
II), partikel FS I di lamela intergrana, sedang FS II di
membran grana.
• Tiap fotosistem mengandung molekul klorofil/ pigmen
aksesori (karotenoid atau xantofil). Sedang molekul klorofil
utama adalah klorofil a pigmen primer (FS I = P700 nm
dan FS II = P680 nm).
• Pada reaksi terang terjadi fotofosforilasi (pelepasan
elektron akibat cahaya matahari). Ada dua fotofosforilasi
(siklik dan non siklik)
– Reflect light, which include the colors we see

Siklus Calvin
• Terjadi di stroma kloroplas
• Menggunakan hasil dari reaksi terang (ATP
sebagai energi utama dan NADPH2 sebagai
sumber energi pereduksi)
• Memerlukan CO2
• Tidak memerlukan cahaya
• Ditemukan oleh Melvin Calvin.
• Terdiri dari 4 tahap : karboksilasi, reduksi,
regenerasi, dan sintesis produk.
