3 The Components of Photosynthesis Chloroplasts Organelles in plants and algae, where photosynthesis takes place captured here Exist in great abundance in the mesophyll cells of plant leaves Double membrane bound like mitochondria Contain thylakoids Stacked as grana In the liquid filled stroma Photosynthesis Captured energy comes mostly from blue and red wavelengths of visible sunlight Absorbed by pigments in the thylakoids Chlorophyll a Accessory pigments Why plants look green high energy short wavelength gamma rays low energy long wavelength x-rays ultraviolet infrared microwaves radiowaves visible light Site of Photosynthesis 1. Leaf The primary site of photosynthesis in plants, leaves have a two-part structure: a petiole (or stalk) and a blade (normally thought of as the leaf). petiole. Leaf cross section blade In cross section, leaves have a sandwichlike structure, with epidermal layers at top and bottom and mesophyll cells in between. Most photosynthesis is performed within mesophyll cells. Leaf epidermis is pocked with a large number of microscopic openings, called stomata, that allow carbon dioxide to pass in and water vapor to pass out. epidermis mesophyll cells epidermis stomata 3. Mesophyll cell nucleus A single mesophyll cell within a leaf contains all the component parts of plant cells in general, including the organelles called chloroplasts that are the actual sites of photosynthesis. chloroplast cell wall vacuole 4. Chloroplast thylakoids stroma granum inner membrane outer membrane Energy from sunlight is absorbed by pigments in the thylakoid membrane. thylakoid thylakoid membrane thylakoid compartment Each chloroplast has an outer membrane at its periphery; then an inner membrane; then a liquid material, called the stroma, that has immersed within it a network of membranes, the thylakoids. These thylakoids sometimes stack on one another to create A Granum Electrons used in photosynthesis will come from water contained in the thylakoid compartment, and all the steps of photosynthesis will take place either within the thylakoid membrane, or in the stroma that surrounds the thylakoids. 3

4 Stages of Photosynthesis Two primary stages reaceons Strips electrons from water oxidaeon Boosts these electrons to higher energy levels Makes and NADPH Calvin cycle Makes carbohydrates from high energy electrons and atmospheric CO The ReacEons Electrons derived from water energeecally boosted by photons Electrons physically transferred passed along through a series of electron carriers NADP + NADPH carries them to second stage Stages of Photosynthesis Two primary stages (conenued) reaceons Strips electrons from water Boosts these electrons to higher energy levels Calvin cycle independent reaceons Makes carbohydrates from high energy electrons and atmospheric CO reduceon 4

5 The Calvin Cycle Electrons carried by NADPH combined with carbon dioxide forms high-energy sugar Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate (G3P) combined into complex carbohydrates powered by from light reaceons Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast First described by Melvin Calvin Photosynthesis works through two molecular complexes Photosystems II and I On thylakoid membranes composed partly of antennae chlorophyll and some accessory absorb and transmit solar energy ReacEons ExcitaEon pigment absorbs light goes from a ground state to excited state which is unstable excited electrons fall back to the ground state photons are given off fluorescence Excited state Energy of electron Photon Chlorophyll molecule Ground state Heat Photon (fluorescence) (a) Excitation of isolated chlorophyll molecule (b) Fluorescence 5

9 What Makes the ReacEons So Important? Two aceons of great consequence take place in the light reaceons 1. Water is split, yielding both electrons and oxygen. The electrons move through the light reaceons. The oxygen is what organisms such as ourselves breathe in.. The electrons that are derived from the water and then given an energy boost by the sun s rays are transferred to a different molecule: the inieal electron This is the means through which the sun s energy is transferred into the living world ReacEons PLAY Reactions STROMA (low H + concentration) Photosystem II 4 H + Cytochrome Photosystem I complex Fd NADP + reductase 3 NADP + + H + Pq NADPH THYLAKOID SPACE (high H + concentration) H O 1 1 / O + H + 4 H + Pc To Calvin Cycle STROMA (low H + concentration) Thylakoid membrane synthase ADP + P i H + The Calvin Cycle Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere Combined with a sugar RuBP (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) resuleng compound RuBisCo (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase) Enzyme that catalyzes RuBP and CO energized with addieon of electrons supplied by light reaceons Makes 3-carbon sugars Later combined into carbohydrates 9

11 Summary In plants PhotorespiraEon and the C4 Pathway the enzyme rubisco frequently binds with oxygen rather than with carbon dioxide a process called photorespiraeon that undercuts photosynthesis. PhotorespiraEon problem increases as temperature rises because as plants close their stomata to keep in moisture they also keep out CO increasing likelihood that rubisco will bind with oxygen Rubisco-oxygen then metabolized Releasing carbon dioxide EvoluEonary relic? Atmospheric O low when rubisco evolved May be proteceve Against damage from buildup of light rxn products 11
