2 Overview: The Process That Feeds the Biosphere Photosynthesis is the process that converts solar energy into chemical energy Directly or indirectly, photosynthesis nourishes almost the entire living world

3 Autotrophs sustain themselves without eating anything derived from other organisms Autotrophs are the producers of the biosphere, producing organic molecules from CO2 and other inorganic molecules Almost all plants are photoautotrophs, using the energy of sunlight to make organic molecules

4 Figure 8.1

5 Heterotrophs obtain their organic material from other organisms Heterotrophs are the consumers of the biosphere Almost all heterotrophs, including humans, depend on photoautotrophs for food and O2

6 Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, certain other protists, and some prokaryotes These organisms feed not only themselves but also most of the living world

13 Concept 8.1: Photosynthesis converts light energy to the chemical energy of food The structural organization of photosynthetic cells includes enzymes and other molecules grouped together in a membrane This organization allows for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis to proceed efficiently Chloroplasts are structurally similar to and likely evolved from photosynthetic bacteria

14 Chloroplasts: The Sites of Photosynthesis in Plants Leaves are the major locations of photosynthesis Their green color is from chlorophyll, the green pigment within chloroplasts Chloroplasts are found mainly in cells of the mesophyll, the interior tissue of the leaf Each mesophyll cell contains chloroplasts

15 CO2 enters and O2 exits the leaf through microscopic pores called stomata The chlorophyll is in the membranes of thylakoids (connected sacs in the chloroplast); thylakoids may be stacked in columns called grana Chloroplasts also contain stroma, a dense interior fluid

21 Tracking Atoms Through Photosynthesis: Scientific Inquiry Photosynthesis is a complex series of reactions that can be summarized as the following equation 6 CO H2O + Light energy C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

22 The Splitting of Water Chloroplasts split H2O into hydrogen and oxygen, incorporating the electrons of hydrogen into sugar molecules and releasing oxygen as a by-product

23 Figure 8.4 Reactants: Products: 6 CO2 C6H12O6 12 H2O 6 H2O 6 O2

24 Photosynthesis as a Redox Process Photosynthesis reverses the direction of electron flow compared to respiration Photosynthesis is a redox process in which H2O is oxidized and CO2 is reduced Photosynthesis is an endergonic process; the energy boost is provided by light

25 Figure 8.UN01 becomes reduced becomes oxidized

26 The Two Stages of Photosynthesis: A Preview Photosynthesis consists of the light reactions (the photo part) and Calvin cycle (the synthesis part) The light reactions (in the thylakoids) Split H2O Release O2 Reduce the electron acceptor, NADP+, to NADPH Generate ATP from ADP by adding a phosphate group, photophosphorylation

27 The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO2, using ATP and NADPH The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO2 into organic molecules Animation: Photosynthesis

33 Concept 8.2: The light reactions convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH Chloroplasts are solar-powered chemical factories Their thylakoids transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH

34 The Nature of Sunlight Light is a form of electromagnetic energy, also called electromagnetic radiation Like other electromagnetic energy, light travels in rhythmic waves Wavelength is the distance between crests of waves Wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic energy

35 The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of electromagnetic energy, or radiation Visible light consists of wavelengths (including those that drive photosynthesis) that produce colors we can see Light also behaves as though it consists of discrete particles, called photons

36 Figure nm 10 3 nm Gamma rays 103 nm 1 nm X-rays UV 1m (109 nm) 106 nm Infrared Microwaves 103 m Radio waves Visible light Shorter wavelength Higher energy nm Longer wavelength Lower energy

37 Photosynthetic Pigments: The Light Receptors Pigments are substances that absorb visible light Different pigments absorb different wavelengths Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected or transmitted Leaves appear green because chlorophyll reflects and transmits green light Animation: Light and Pigments

38 Figure 8.7 Light Reflected light Chloroplast Absorbed light Granum Transmitted light

39 A spectrophotometer measures a pigment s ability to absorb various wavelengths This machine sends light through pigments and measures the fraction of light transmitted at each wavelength

40 Figure 8.8 Technique White light Refracting prism Chlorophyll solution 2 1 Slit moves to pass light of selected wavelength. Galvanometer 3 4 Green light Blue light Photoelectric tube The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light. The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light.

41 An absorption spectrum is a graph plotting a pigment s light absorption versus wavelength The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a suggests that violet-blue and red light work best for photosynthesis Accessory pigments include chlorophyll b and a group of pigments called carotenoids An action spectrum profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a process

46 The action spectrum of photosynthesis was first demonstrated in 1883 by Theodor W. Engelmann In his experiment, he exposed different segments of a filamentous alga to different wavelengths Areas receiving wavelengths favorable to photosynthesis produced excess O2 He used the growth of aerobic bacteria clustered along the alga as a measure of O2 production

47 Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment Accessory pigments, such as chlorophyll b, broaden the spectrum used for photosynthesis A slight structural difference between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b causes them to absorb slightly different wavelengths Accessory pigments called carotenoids absorb excessive light that would damage chlorophyll Video: Chlorophyll Model

49 Excitation of Chlorophyll by Light When a pigment absorbs light, it goes from a ground state to an excited state, which is unstable When excited electrons fall back to the ground state, photons are given off, an afterglow called fluorescence If illuminated, an isolated solution of chlorophyll will fluoresce, giving off light and heat

51 Figure 8.11a (b) Fluorescence

52 A Photosystem: A Reaction-Center Complex Associated with Light-Harvesting Complexes A photosystem consists of a reaction-center complex (a type of protein complex) surrounded by light-harvesting complexes The light-harvesting complexes (pigment molecules bound to proteins) transfer the energy of photons to the reaction center

56 A primary electron acceptor in the reaction center accepts excited electrons and is reduced as a result Solar-powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor is the first step of the light reactions

57 There are two types of photosystems in the thylakoid membrane Photosystem II (PS II) functions first (the numbers reflect order of discovery) and is best at absorbing a wavelength of 680 nm The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS II is called P680

58 Photosystem I (PS I) is best at absorbing a wavelength of 700 nm The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS I is called P700

59 Linear Electron Flow Linear electron flow involves the flow of electrons through both photosystems to produce ATP and NADPH using light energy

60 Linear electron flow can be broken down into a series of steps 1. A photon hits a pigment and its energy is passed among pigment molecules until it excites P An excited electron from P680 is transferred to the primary electron acceptor (we now call it P680+) 3. H2O is split by enzymes, and the electrons are transferred from the hydrogen atoms to P680+, thus reducing it to P680; O2 is released as a by-product

67 4. Each electron falls down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS II to PS I 5. Energy released by the fall drives the creation of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane; diffusion of H+ (protons) across the membrane drives ATP synthesis

68 6. In PS I (like PS II), transferred light energy excites P700, causing it to lose an electron to an electron acceptor (we now call it P700+) P700+ accepts an electron passed down from PS II via the electron transport chain

69 7. Excited electrons fall down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS I to the protein ferredoxin (Fd) 8. The electrons are transferred to NADP+, reducing it to NADPH, and become available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle This process also removes an H+ from the stroma

70 The energy changes of electrons during linear flow can be represented in a mechanical analogy

72 A Comparison of Chemiosmosis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Chloroplasts and mitochondria generate ATP by chemiosmosis but use different sources of energy Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP Spatial organization of chemiosmosis differs between chloroplasts and mitochondria but also shows similarities

73 In mitochondria, protons are pumped to the intermembrane space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the mitochondrial matrix In chloroplasts, protons are pumped into the thylakoid space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the stroma

76 ATP and NADPH are produced on the side facing the stroma, where the Calvin cycle takes place In summary, light reactions generate ATP and increase the potential energy of electrons by moving them from H2O to NADPH

81 Concept 8.3: The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to reduce CO2 to sugar The Calvin cycle, like the citric acid cycle, regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle Unlike the citric acid cycle, the Calvin cycle is anabolic It builds sugar from smaller molecules by using ATP and the reducing power of electrons carried by NADPH

82 Carbon enters the cycle as CO2 and leaves as a sugar named glyceraldehyde 3-phospate (G3P) For net synthesis of one G3P, the cycle must take place three times, fixing three molecules of CO 2 The Calvin cycle has three phases Carbon fixation Reduction Regeneration of the CO2 acceptor

83 Phase 1, carbon fixation, involves the incorporation of the CO2 molecules into ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) using the enzyme rubisco

88 Phase 2, reduction, involves the reduction and phosphorylation of 3-phosphoglycerate to G3P

89 Phase 3, regeneration, involves the rearrangement of G3P to regenerate the initial CO2 receptor, RuBP

90 Evolution of Alternative Mechanisms of Carbon Fixation in Hot, Arid Climates Adaptation to dehydration is a problem for land plants, sometimes requiring trade-offs with other metabolic processes, especially photosynthesis On hot, dry days, plants close stomata, which conserves H2O but also limits photosynthesis The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up These conditions favor an apparently wasteful process called photorespiration

91 In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound (3phosphoglycerate) In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle, producing a two-carbon compound Photorespiration decreases photosynthetic output by consuming ATP, O2, and organic fuel and releasing CO2 without producing any ATP or sugar

92 Photorespiration may be an evolutionary relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2 Photorespiration limits damaging products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle

93 C4 Plants C4 plants minimize the cost of photorespiration by incorporating CO2 into a four-carbon compound An enzyme in the mesophyll cells has a high affinity for CO2 and can fix carbon even when CO2 concentrations are low These four-carbon compounds are exported to bundle-sheath cells, where they release CO2 that is then used in the Calvin cycle

98 CAM Plants Some plants, including succulents, use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to fix carbon CAM plants open their stomata at night, incorporating CO2 into organic acids Stomata close during the day, and CO2 is released from organic acids and used in the Calvin cycle

99 The Importance of Photosynthesis: A Review The energy entering chloroplasts as sunlight gets stored as chemical energy in organic compounds Sugar made in the chloroplasts supplies chemical energy and carbon skeletons to synthesize the organic molecules of cells Plants store excess sugar as starch in the chloroplasts and in structures such as roots, tubers, seeds, and fruits In addition to food production, photosynthesis produces the O2 in our atmosphere
