PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Photosynthesis is the way that plants make food from sunlight– You take in food which is digested and then
transferred to cells for use by mitochondria– Plants can’t “eat” so they make food which is
then transferred to the mitochondria– Mitochondria then transform the “food energy”
into chemical energy
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Why does it matter?– Source of nearly all the energy on Earth– Process by which atmospheric gases are
maintained in the ratios we need to survive

• Heterotroph: organism that must consume food
• Autotroph: organism that makes its own food (photosynthesis)

PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Vein: water delivery
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Epidermis: water-proof covering of the surface of the leaf– Prevents unwanted loss of water and gases
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Stoma: Opening in the leaves– water exits
– O2 exits
– CO2 enters

• Guard cells: surround stoma– Open and close stoma
PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis
• Mesophyll: central layer of cells– contains chloroplast-rich cells– site where most photosynthesis occurs

Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Thylakoids contain pigments
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Pigments: molecules that absorb light energy
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Pigments: molecules that absorb light energy– Electrons are energized by absorbing energy
and “jumping” energy levels
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Pigments: molecules that absorb light energy– Electrons are energized by absorbing energy
and “jumping” energy levels– A specific amount of energy is required in
order for the electron of a specific atom to jump and land in another energy level
• Ex. Long jumping versus hopscotch
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Thylakoids contain the pigment chlorophyll– Chlorophylls a and b
• Absorb light on opposite ends of the visible light spectrum
• Between 500 and 600 nm light is reflected• Why chlorophyll appears green

• Thylakoids contain pigments called carotenoids– Absorb light below 550 nm– Appear red, orange, and yellow

Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Thylakoids contain pigments– Which pigment is dominant in deciduous trees
right now?
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Pigment in the thylakoids form Photosystems– Network of pigments held together within a
protein matrix– Channel energy absorbed from light to a
specific pigment molecule: reaction center chlorophyll
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Pigment in the thylakoids form Photosystems– Reaction center chlorophyll passes the
energy (via an energized electron) to a primary electron acceptor: Ferredoxin
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Process of replacing the electrons that follows this step depends on the organism:– Bacteria: cyclic – Algae and plants: non-cyclic
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Cyclic phosphorylation– Bacteria– Contain only 1 photosystem: Photosystem I– From electron acceptor, electrons go through
electron transport system from which ATP is produced
– Electrons then return to Photosystem I
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Non-cyclic phosphorylation– Algae and plants– Contain 2 photosystems: Photosystem I, and
Photosystem II– PS II acts first
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Non-cyclic phosphorylation– Photon of light energy excites electron which
is passed from PS II to electron transport chain and then to PS I
– Another photon of light re-excites the electron now in PS I which passes the electron to the primary electron acceptor and through a series of reactions
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Non-cyclic phosphorylation– Electrons lost from PS II must be replaced
• PS II takes an electron from protein Z• Protein Z then takes an electron from water by
splitting a water molecule into H+ ions and O
• H+ ions are used later, O forms O2 and is “exhaled”
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– Series of enzymes embedded in membrane
called the cytochrome complex– Receive excited electrons from PS II and PS I– Electrons are passed from 1 molecule to the
next
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– Energy from the electrons energized in PS II
powers a proton pump – Proton pump pumps protons into the thylakoid
space– Results in high concentration of protons in the
thylakoid space– Concentration gradient powers ATPase
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– ATPase allows protons back out of membrane– Rush of protons provides enough energy to
attach a phosphate to an ADP forming
– This process is called chemiosmosis
ATP
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– Energy from the electrons energized in PS I is
passed to a reduction complex – At the reduction complex NAD+ is transformed
into NADH
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– NAD+ is an electron acceptor: it holds on to
the energy from the electrons until it can be used to bind a phosphate group to an ADP
Light Dependent ReactionsLight Dependent Reactions
• Electron transport chains– and NADH produced leave the thylakoid
to participate in the next set of reactions: the light independent reactions or Calvin cycle
