1 PHOTOSYNTHESIS A. INTRODUCTION 1. Photosynthesis is the process of making a simple organic molecule from inorganic compounds (molecules) utilizing light energy. a. It takes energy input for synthesis. b. Light energy is funneled into the living world largely by the process of photosynthesis. 1) Two major sources of energy we as humans use are the results of photosynthesis past and present. a) Food fuels are bodily activities which comes from the results or products of recent photosynthesis. b) Fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) provide energy for most of our needs and these are the results or products of photosynthesis that occurred millions of years ago. 2) And to have accomplished this the green plants only capture something less than 1% of the total solar energy reaching the earth and its atmosphere. 2. The process occurs in green tissue in plants and in algae and certain bacteria. a. Usually this is the leaf in higher plants although some stems also carry on photosynthesis. b. Chlorophyll, which give the green color to the plant, is located within chloroplasts in all plants in the kingdom Plantae. c. Within the chloroplast the pigment chlorophyll along with other pigments is embedded in the membranes of the thylakoid. 3. Raw materials used in the process are CO 2, H 2 O, and Energy (fig. 8.1, p. 146) a. CO 2 enters the leaf by way of the stomates. b. Water enters the plant by way of root hairs, moves into the xylem and is carried to the leaf. c. The mesophyll tissue consisting of the palisade cells and the spongy layer cells is where photosynthesis takes place. d. Light energy is trapped by a pi electron in the chlorophyll molecule. 1) A photon of light activates an electron in the molecule. 2) Only wave lengths of the proper energy can do this. 3) Figure 8.6, p. 149 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a.
2 4) Wave lengths are in the blue-violet and reds. 5) The fact that chlorophyll appears green indicates it does not absorb but instead reflects green light. 6) The electron absorbs so much energy that it leaves the chlorophyll molecule and can be accepted by another molecule (fig. 8.4, p. 148) 7) Fluorescence is the process in which an electron is excited, spins, and then returns to the chlorophyll molecule giving up the extra energy as light energy. -e- light energy photon --- -e- chlorophyll Figure 1. Diagrammatic representation of fluorescence 4. Photosynthesis results in light energy being transformed to chemical or bond energy. 5. Photosynthesis can be separated into two phases. a. Light phase, which occurs in the thylakoids. 1) Energy-rich molecules, ATP and NADPH + H +, are produced. 2) H 2 O is split by the process of photolysis. b. Dark phase that occurs in the stroma. 1) CO 2 is fixed. 2) CO 2 is reduced. O=C=O --- H-C-OH part of carbohydrate molecule B. LIGHT PHASE 1. The antenna complex consists of a closely connected web of chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane (fig. 8.9, p. 151) a. Each photosystem includes an assembly of about 250 to 400 pigment molecules consisting of two closely linked components. 1) A reaction center protein-pigment complex. 2) An antenna protein complex. b. The antenna complex molecules can trap light photons of a particular wave length (energy) and pass the energy to a reaction center chlorophyll a molecule. c. When the reaction center chlorophyll molecule absorbs the energy from an antenna molecule, one of its electrons is activated, boosted to a higher energy level, and this activated electron is transferred to an acceptor molecule to initiate electron flow.
3 d. The chlorophyll a molecule is now oxidized and has an electron hole. 2. Cyclic photophosphorylation (fig. fig. 8.10, p. 152.) a. Photon hits electron in chlorophyll a 700. b. Electron is activated and is accepted by a primary acceptor. c. The electron is then passed along a chain of electron acceptors back to chlorophyll a 700. d. The energy from the electron is used to synthesize ATP. 3. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation (fig. 8.9, p. 151) a. 2 electrons from chlorophyll molecules end up in NADPH. b. Involves both photosystems II and I. c. Both ATP and NADPH are synthesized. d. Two electrons from H 2 O are passed to P 680 to P 700 to NADP + (fig. 8.9, p. 151) e. Takes 2 photons of light to raise electron from level in water to level in NADPH. 4. Remember that a reduced molecule contains more energy than an oxidized molecule; therefore, NADP + contains less energy than NADPH 5. Chemiosmosis is similar in the chloroplast and the mitochondrion (fig. 8.11, p. 153) a. In both H +, photons, are pumped through the membrane, thylakoid in the case of the chloroplast, creating a H + gradient. b. The thylakoid membrane is impermeable to protons. c. The protons must pass through the ATP synthase channel. d. This results in ADP being phosphorylated to ATP. Probably 1 ATP is synthesized for each 2 protons that pass through ATP synthase channel. ATPs formed in stroma. C. DARK PHASE OR LIGHT-INDEPENDENT PHASE. 1. Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. 2. Involves the Calvin cycle (fig. 8.13, p. 155)
4 a. C 5 molecule, ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate (RuBP) combines with CO 2 and H 2 O to form a C 6. Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase, (RuBisCo), is the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction; may the most abundant protein on earth. b. C 6 molecule is split into 2 C 3 molecules, 3-phosphoglycerate, PGA. c. Use ATP and NADPH to reduce PGA to PGAL. 1) ATP used to make 2 molecules of 1,3 bisphosphoglyerate. 2) NADPH used to convert these molecules to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, PGAL 3. For every 6 molecules of PGAL produced, 5 go back into the cycle. There is a net gain of 1 PGAL for each 6 produced. a. Some of the net PGAL molecules can be used for energy. b. Some can be converted to glucose and other sugars. 4. C 4 pathway (fig. 8.17, p. 158) a. Is a method of concentrating CO 2 in one type of cell utilizing ATP energy. b. The fixed CO 2 is then pumped into another cell where it is fixed in the Calvin cycle. c. C 4 plants are good for hot, dry areas. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS OVER PHOTOSYNTHESIS I 1.
