- Bellringer Without fail, I forget to water my plants. My houses
temperature (electric heat = dry) is kept at 72 o F. Explain, using
your botannical vocabulary, why my house plants shriveled up and
died over the winter.
- Slide 4
- Set up lab, lecture, finish lab Todays goal: Define pigment.
Explain why plants are green. Give examples of the accessory
pigments and explain their role in photosynthesis.
- Slide 5
- All you ever wanted to know about photosynthesis Part One
- Slide 6
- Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms
use light energy to make sugar and oxygen gas from carbon dioxide
and water AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Carbon dioxide
WaterGlucoseOxygen gas PHOTOSYNTHESIS
- Slide 7
- Energy can be transformed from one form to another FREE ENERGY
(available for work) vs. HEAT (not available for work)
- Slide 8
- THE SUN: MAIN SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR LIFE ON EARTH
- Slide 9
- Almost all plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, as are some
bacteria and protists Autotrophs generate their own organic matter
through photosynthesis Sunlight energy is transformed to energy
stored in the form of chemical bonds (a) Mosses, ferns, and
flowering plants (b) Kelp (c) Euglena (d) Cyanobacteria THE BASICS

- WHY ARE PLANTS GREEN? It's not that easy bein' green Having to
spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be
nicer being red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful
like that Kermit the Frog

- Electromagnetic Spectrum and Visible Light Gamma rays X-raysUV
Infrared & Microwaves Radio waves Visible light Wavelength
(nm)
- Slide 15
- Sunlight Form of energy (photons) Measured in wavelengths Sun
radiates full spectrum, atmosphere screens out most, allows
primarily only visible light through (380-750 nm) Amount of energy
is inversely related to the wavelength of light
- Slide 16
- Different wavelengths of visible light are seen by the human
eye as different colors. Gamma rays X-raysUVInfrared Micro- waves
Radio waves Visible light Wavelength (nm)
- Slide 17
- Pigment Substances that absorb visible light Different pigments
absorb light of different wavelengths Color we see is the color
most reflected or transmitted by the pigment
- Slide 18
- Sunlight minus absorbed wavelengths or colors equals the
apparent color of an object. The feathers of male cardinals are
loaded with carotenoid pigments. These pigments absorb some
wavelengths of light and reflect others. Reflected light

- So chlorophyll isnt the whole story here
- Slide 26
- The Pigments Chlorophyll a: blue-green; only pigment that can
participate directly in photosynthesis Accessory (antennae)
pigments - absorb light and transfer it to chlorophyll a:
Chlorophyll b: yellow-green Carotenoids: various shades of yellow
and orange Xanthophylls: purples Anthocyanin: yellow

- The Calvin cycle makes sugar from carbon dioxide ATP generated
by the light reactions provides the energy for sugar synthesis The
NADPH produced by the light reactions provides the electrons for
the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose Light Chloroplast Light
reactions Calvin cycle NADP ADP + P The light reactions convert
solar energy to chemical energy Produce ATP & NADPH AN OVERVIEW

- Slide 39
- Review of photosynthesis The reactants: CO 2 and H 2 O Driving
the reaction: sunlight Products: Glucose and O 2 Sunlight captured
by pigments (chlorophylls and others) Pigments located in the
chloroplasts

energy Light Reflected light Absorbed light Transmitted light
Chloroplast
- Slide 41
- What is a pigment? Substance that absorbs visible light
Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths Arranged
into clusters called photosystems (more on that later!)
- Slide 42
- Chloroplasts: Sites of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Occurs in
chloroplasts, organelles in certain plants All green plant parts
have chloroplasts and carry out photosynthesis The leaves have the
most chloroplasts The green color comes from chlorophyll in the
chloroplasts The pigments absorb light energy
- Slide 43
- Photosystems In the membrane of the thylakoid Contains several
hundred molecules of chlorophyll a and b along with accessory
pigments Named by the wavelength of light they absorb (P680 and
P700)
- Slide 44
- Why have photosystems? To harvest light over a larger surface
area and larger portion of the spectrum than any single pigment
could harvest.

Reactions Generate ATP and NADPH
- Slide 50
- Two connected photosystems collect photons of light and
transfer the energy to chlorophyll electrons The excited electrons
are passed from the primary electron acceptor to electron transport
chains Their energy ends up in ATP and NADPH In the light
reactions, electron transport chains generate ATP, NADPH, & O
2
- Slide 51
- The electron transport chains are arranged with the
photosystems in the thylakoid membranes and pump H + through that
membrane The flow of H + back through the membrane is harnessed by
ATP synthase to make ATP In the stroma, the H + ions combine with
NADP + to form NADPH Chemiosmosis powers ATP synthesis in the light
reactions
