Master Mnemonic Sheet for PP-01

1. Z-Scheme Order

"PS2 Plays Quick Cricket, PC PS1 Fires Nicely" PS II → PQ (Plastoquinone) → Cyt b6f (Cricket) → PC (Plastocyanin) → PS I → Fd (Fires) → NA$DP^{+}$ reductase (Nicely) → NADPH

2. Calvin Cycle Stages

"CRR — Cars Race Rapidly" C = Carboxylation ($CO_{2}$ + RuBP → 2 PGA via RuBisCO) R = Reduction (PGA → G3P using ATP + NADPH) R = Regeneration (G3P → RuBP using ATP)

3. C3 vs C4 vs CAM

"3 Regular, 4 Spatial, CAM Temporal" C3 = Regular (one cell, RuBisCO only) C4 = Spatial separation (mesophyll vs bundle sheath) CAM = Temporal separation (night vs day)

4. Non-Cyclic Products

"ANO" — All three: ATP, NADPH, $O_{2}$ Non-cyclic = ANO; Cyclic = A only

5. PS I vs PS II

"PS II Discovered 2nd, Acts 1st, P680, Water Split" "PS I Discovered 1st, Acts 2nd, P700, NADPH Made"

6. C4 Examples (Hot tropical crops)

"M-SS-A" = Maize, Sugarcane, Sorghum, Amaranthus

7. CAM Examples (Dry succulent plants)

"CBOP" = Cacti, Bryophyllum, Opuntia, Pineapple

8. Calvin Cycle Numbers

"6-12-18" → 6 turns, 12 NADPH, 18 ATP per glucose

9. RuBisCO Dual Activity

"CO/Ox" — Carboxylase = $CO_{2}$ = good; Oxygenase = $O_{2}$ = bad (photorespiration)

10. Blackman's Law

"The slowest car in a convoy determines convoy speed"
