Chapter 11: Bioenergetics and Metabolism

Animations

The following animations are available for this chapter:

11.1 From Proplastid to Chloroplast A proplastid with inner and outer membranes develops into a mature chloroplast with a third membrane system—the thylakoid membranes.
11.2 The Light Reactions During the light reactions of photosynthesis, energy absorbed from sunlight drives the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, coupled to the oxidation of H₂O to O₂.

These animations are in Adobe Flash format. These require the Flash player (version 9 or newer recommended), which can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website:
