1 Where It Starts: Photosynthesis Chapter 5

2 Photosynthesis Metabolic Pathways Converts light energy to chemical energy.

3 Photoautotrophs Organisms that can perform photosynthesis Cyanobacteria (prokaryotic-no chloroplast) Plants Algae

4 Photosynthesis Equation 12H 2 O + 6CO 2 water carbon dioxide LIGHT ENERGY chlorophyll 6O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6H 2 O oxygen glucose water

5 upper leaf surface photosynthetic cells Cutaway section of leaf (see next slide)

6 Chloroplast Photosynthetic organelle in plants and algae two outer membranes stroma Thylakoids (inner membrane system)

7 Different Types of Energy Wavelength of light (nanometers)

8 Visible Light Spectrum Composed of different colors Violet (380 nm) to red (750 nm) Longer wavelengths, lower energy

9 Pigments Chemicals that interact with visible light Absorbed colors/wavelength (not seen) Reflect colors/wavelength (color seen)

10 Variety of Plant Pigment Photosynthetic Pigments Chlorophylls Accessory Pigments Carotenoids Anthocyanins Phycobilins

12 Photosynthesis. a Two-Step Process 1. Light-dependent reactions 2. Light-independent reaction

13 Light Dependant Reactions Pigments Electron transport chain ATP Production

14 Photosystems Capture light energy Two types (I and II) Composed of. Antenna pigments (accessory pigments) Reaction center (chlorophyll)

15 Electron Transfer Chains Next to photosystems Accepts electrons from reaction center Electrons pass along chain ATP generated.

16 Thylakoid Membrane Section stroma thylakoid membrane thylakoid compartment PHOTOSYSTEM II reaction center PHOTOSYSTEM I reaction center electron transfer chain electron transfer chain

17 Light-Dependent Reactions Two variants 1. Noncyclic pathway 2. Cyclic pathway

18 Noncyclic Electron Flow Two-step pathway Uses both photosystems (I and II) Produces ATP and NADPH Split water Release oxygen

22 Non Cyclic Electron Flow: Summary Reactants Location: Thylakoid Membranes Light Photosystem I and II with Chlorophyll Water Electron Transport Chains ADP Products Oxygen ATP NADPH NADP +

23 Cyclic Electron Flow Photosystem I only Electrons Donated by chlorophyll a Passed to electron transfer chain Passed back to photosystem I Electron flow drives ATP formation No NADPH is formed

33 The C3 Pathway The standard photysynthesis pathway The first stable intermediate is a three-carbon PGA Because the first intermediate has three carbons, the pathway is called the C3 pathway

36 Photorespiration in C3 Plants On hot, dry days stomata close Inside leaf Oxygen levels rise Carbon dioxide levels drop RuBP bonds to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide Only one PGAL forms instead of two glucose

37 upper leaf surface photosynthetic cells Cutaway section of leaf stoma

38 C4 Plants Carbon dioxide is fixed twice Carbon dioxide is stored as a four carbon compound Carbon dioxide is released from the compound for use in Calvin-Benson cycle Evolutionary defense against photorespiration Corn and Crabgrass are examples

Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of harnessing the energy of sunlight to make carbohydrates (sugars).

Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of harnessing the energy of sunlight to make carbohydrates (sugars). Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process of harnessing the energy of sunlight to make carbohydrates (sugars). Plants do photosynthesis to make their own food (sugars) and are called, photoautotrophs.
