1 Chapter 10 Photosynthesis PowerPoint Lecture Presentations for Biology Eighth Edition Neil Campbell and Jane Reece Lectures by Chris Romero, updated by Erin Barley with contributions from Joan Sharp

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 CO 2 and other inorganic molecules Almost all plants are photoautotrophs, using the energy of sunlight to make organic molecules from H 2 O and CO 2

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

12 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 O 2

13 Concept 10.1: Photosynthesis converts light energy to the chemical energy of food Chloroplasts are structurally similar to and likely evolved from photosynthetic bacteria The structural organization of these cells allows for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis

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 Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll drives the synthesis of organic molecules in the chloroplast CO 2 enters and O 2 exits the leaf through microscopic pores called stomata

15 Chloroplasts are found mainly in cells of the mesophyll, the interior tissue of the leaf A typical mesophyll cell has chloroplasts 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 fluid

19 Tracking Atoms Through Photosynthesis: Scientific Inquiry Photosynthesis can be summarized as the following equation: 6 CO H 2 O + Light energy C 6 H 12 O O H 2 O

20 The Splitting of Water Chloroplasts split H 2 O into hydrogen and oxygen, incorporating the electrons of hydrogen into sugar molecules

21 Fig Reactants: 6 CO 2 12 H 2 O Products: C 6 H 12 O 6 6 H 2 O 6 O 2

22 Photosynthesis as a Redox Process Photosynthesis is a redox process in which H 2 O is oxidized and CO 2 is reduced

23 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 H 2 O Release O 2 Reduce NADP + to NADPH Generate ATP from ADP by photophosphorylation

24 The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO 2, using ATP and NADPH The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO 2 into organic molecules

28 Fig H 2 O CO 2 Light Light Reactions NADP + ADP + P ATP i Calvin Cycle NADPH Chloroplast O 2 [CH 2 O] (sugar)

29 Concept 10.2: 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

30 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

31 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

32 Fig nm 10 3 nm 1 nm 10 3 nm 10 6 nm 1 m (10 9 nm) 10 3 m Gamma rays X-rays UV Infrared Microwaves Radio waves Visible light nm Shorter wavelength Higher energy Longer wavelength Lower energy

33 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

34 Fig Light Reflected light Chloroplast Absorbed light Granum Transmitted light

35 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

36 Fig TECHNIQUE White light 1 Refracting prism Chlorophyll Photoelectric solution tube Galvanometer Slit moves to pass light of selected wavelength Green light The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light. Blue light The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light.

37 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 An action spectrum profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a process

38 Fig RESULTS Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b Carotenoids (a) Absorption spectra Wavelength of light (nm) (b) Action spectrum Aerobic bacteria Filament of alga (c) Engelmann s experiment

39 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 O 2 He used the growth of aerobic bacteria clustered along the alga as a measure of O 2 production

40 Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment Accessory pigments, such as chlorophyll b, broaden the spectrum used for photosynthesis Accessory pigments called carotenoids absorb excessive light that would damage chlorophyll

41 Fig CH 3 CHO in chlorophyll a in chlorophyll b Porphyrin ring: light-absorbing head of molecule; note magnesium atom at center Hydrocarbon tail: interacts with hydrophobic regions of proteins inside thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts; H atoms not shown

42 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

43 Fig e Excited state Energy of electron Photon Chlorophyll molecule Ground state Heat Photon (fluorescence) (a) Excitation of isolated chlorophyll molecule (b) Fluorescence

44 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) funnel the energy of photons to the reaction center

45 A primary electron acceptor in the reaction center accepts an excited electron from chlorophyll a Solar-powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor is the first step of the light reactions

46 Fig Photon Light-harvesting complexes Photosystem Reaction-center complex STROMA Primary electron acceptor Thylakoid membrane e Transfer of energy Special pair of chlorophyll a molecules Pigment molecules THYLAKOID SPACE (INTERIOR OF THYLAKOID)

47 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

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

49 Linear Electron Flow During the light reactions, there are two possible routes for electron flow: cyclic and linear Linear electron flow, the primary pathway, involves both photosystems and produces ATP and NADPH using light energy

50 A photon hits a pigment and its energy is passed among pigment molecules until it excites P680 An excited electron from P680 is transferred to the primary electron acceptor

51 Fig Primary acceptor e 2 P680 1 Light Pigment molecules Photosystem II (PS II)

52 P680 + (P680 that is missing an electron) is a very strong oxidizing agent H 2 O is split by enzymes, and the electrons are transferred from the hydrogen atoms to P680 +, thus reducing it to P680 O 2 is released as a by-product of this reaction

53 Fig Primary acceptor 2 H / 2 O 2 3 H 2 O e 2 e e P680 1 Light Pigment molecules Photosystem II (PS II)

54 Each electron falls down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS II to PS I 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

55 Fig H / 2 O 2 3 H 2 O e e Primary acceptor e 2 Pq 4 Cytochrome complex Pc P Light ATP Pigment molecules Photosystem II (PS II)

56 In PS I (like PS II), transferred light energy excites P700, which loses an electron to an electron acceptor P700 + (P700 that is missing an electron) accepts an electron passed down from PS II via the electron transport chain

58 Each electron falls down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS I to the protein ferredoxin (Fd) The electrons are then transferred to NADP + and reduce it to NADPH The electrons of NADPH are available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle

60 Fig ATP e e e e e e NADPH Mill makes ATP e Photosystem II Photosystem I

61 Cyclic Electron Flow Cyclic electron flow uses only photosystem I and produces ATP, but not NADPH Cyclic electron flow generates surplus ATP, satisfying the higher demand in the Calvin cycle

62 Fig Primary acceptor Fd Primary acceptor Fd Pq Cytochrome complex NADP + reductase NADP + + H + NADPH Pc Photosystem II ATP Photosystem I

63 Some organisms such as purple sulfur bacteria have PS I but not PS II Cyclic electron flow is thought to have evolved before linear electron flow Cyclic electron flow may protect cells from light-induced damage

64 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

65 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

67 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 H 2 O to NADPH

69 Concept 10.3: The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO 2 to sugar The Calvin cycle, like the citric acid cycle, regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle The cycle builds sugar from smaller molecules by using ATP and the reducing power of electrons carried by NADPH

70 Carbon enters the cycle as CO 2 and leaves as a sugar named glyceraldehyde-3-phospate (G3P) For net synthesis of 1 G3P, the cycle must take place three times, fixing 3 molecules of CO 2 The Calvin cycle has three phases: Carbon fixation (catalyzed by rubisco) Reduction Regeneration of the CO 2 acceptor (RuBP)

74 Concept 10.4: Alternative mechanisms of carbon fixation have evolved in hot, arid climates Dehydration is a problem for plants, sometimes requiring trade-offs with other metabolic processes, especially photosynthesis On hot, dry days, plants close stomata, which conserves H 2 O but also limits photosynthesis The closing of stomata reduces access to CO 2 and causes O 2 to build up These conditions favor a seemingly wasteful process called photorespiration

75 Photorespiration: An Evolutionary Relic? In most plants (C 3 plants), initial fixation of CO 2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound In photorespiration, rubisco adds O 2 instead of CO 2 in the Calvin cycle Photorespiration consumes O 2 and organic fuel and releases CO 2 without producing ATP or sugar

76 Photorespiration may be an evolutionary relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O 2 and more CO 2 Photorespiration limits damaging products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle

77 C 4 Plants C 4 plants minimize the cost of photorespiration by incorporating CO 2 into four-carbon compounds in mesophyll cells This step requires the enzyme PEP carboxylase PEP carboxylase has a higher affinity for CO 2 than rubisco does; it can fix CO 2 even when CO 2 concentrations are low These four-carbon compounds are exported to bundle-sheath cells, where they release CO 2 that is then used in the Calvin cycle

81 CAM Plants Some plants, including succulents, use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to fix carbon CAM plants open their stomata at night, incorporating CO 2 into organic acids Stomata close during the day, and CO 2 is released from organic acids and used in the Calvin cycle

83 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 structures such as roots, tubers, seeds, and fruits In addition to food production, photosynthesis produces the O 2 in our atmosphere
