Photosynthesis:The light reactions

(photophosphorylation)

Chlorophyll (or other pigments) absorbs light energy and conserve it as ATP and NADPH.

Not all photosynthetic organisms use H2O as electron donor in photosynthesis; thus not all of them produce O2 while they produce ATP and NADPH.

There are two types of photosynthesis: oxygenic (producing oxygen) photosynthesis and anoxygenic (not producing oxygen) photosynthesis. Only organisms with two photosystems can do oxygenic photosynthesis.

At lease half of the photosynthsis in this world is done by microorganisms (algae, photosynthetic eukaryotes and photosynthetic bacteria).

p729

Chloroplast has photosystems with closely arranged chlorophyll

p727

Cyanobacteria & red algae also contain similar structures called phycobilisome to facilitate light absorption

p726

Alternating single and double bonds give strong absorption in the visible light

The major light absorbing pigment in higher plants

p726

The accessory pigment in bacteria and algae

p725

What wavelength of light chlorophyll absorbs?

p727

Chlorophylls can cover part of the spectrum – blue and red

The part of spectrum covered by chlorophylls coincides with the action spectrum of photosynthesis

Accessory pigment: the red-orange -carotene

p726

Accessory pigment: lutein (the red-orange isoprenoid)

-carotene and lutein can help plant absorb more light

Phycoerythrin and phycocyanin can absorb light that other pigments cannot absorb
