Ch. 10: Photosynthesis
Energy = Life All living organisms must obtain energy in order to live Autotrophs = Produce their own energy via photosynthesis or chemosynthesis Heterotrophs = consume other organisms Ø They capture free energy present in carbon compounds produced by other organisms
Energy = Life Autotrophs make their own food and sustain themselves without eajng anything derived from other organisms Autotrophs are the producers of the biosphere, producing organic molecules (such as glucose) from CO 2 and other inorganic molecules Almost all plants are photoautotrophs, using the energy of sunlight to make organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide 9
Autotrophs = Producers (a) Plants (c) Unicellular protist 10 µm (e) Purple sulfur bacteria 1.5 µm (b) Multicellular alga (d) Cyanobacteria 40 µm
Review Living cells require energy from outside sources Energy flows into an ecosystem as sunlight and leaves as heat Photosynthesis generates O 2 and organic CHO molecules (used in cellular respirajon)
Energy Flow and Chemical Recycling in Ecosystems IN: Light Energy ECOSYSTEM CO 2 + H 2 O Photosynthesis in chloroplasts Cellular respiration in mitochondria Organic Molecules + O 2 OUT: Heat energy ATP ATP powers most cellular work
Chloroplasts Photosynthesis typically occurs in leaves Chlorophyll, a pigment found in chloroplasts, gives them their green appearance Chlorophyll absorbs visible light E, which is used to synthesize organic molecules such as glucose CO2 enters and O2 exits the leaf through microscopic pores called stomata 13
Chloroplast Structure
Chloroplast Structure Intermembrane space b/t inner and outer membranes 15
Chloroplast Structure Thylakoid= flaZened, membranous sacs Grana = stacks of thylakoids 16
Chloroplast Structure Stroma = dense fluid in the chloroplast 17
Chloroplast Structure
Chloroplast Chloroplasts probably evolved from cyanobacteria (photosynthedc bacteria) 19
Chloroplast Chloroplasts are found mainly in cells of the mesophyll (interior Dssue of the leaf) 20
Chloroplast A typical mesophyll cell has 30-40 chloroplasts 21
Leaf cross section Vein Zooming in on the location of photosynthesi s in a plant Mesophyll Stomata CO 2 O 2 Chloroplast Mesophyll cell 5 µm

Recall: RespiraJon Review 6O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6 à 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy This occurs in three main steps: Glycolysis Krebs/CA Cycle ETC Where does the glucose come from?? 24
Photosynthesis Overview Photosynthesis = energy transfer process that converts solar energy into stored chemical energy Photosynthesis provides the Earth with food and atmospheric oxygen 25
Photosynthesis Overview Photosynthesis can be summarized with the following equation 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Light E è C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 26
27 Recall
Photosynthesis Overview Photosynthesis is a redox reacjon: H 2 O is oxidized to O 2 CO 2 is reduced to C 6 H 12 O 6 28
Stages of Photosynthesis 1. The light dependent reacjons 2. The light independent reacjons (Calvin Cycle) 29
Stages 1. The light dependent reactions Occur within and across the thylakoid membrane H 2 O is split into hydrogen and oxygen (photolysis) The e - s hold the free energy from the light Through an ETC, light E is transformed into ATP and NADPH Generate ATP by photophosphorylation 30
31
Stages 2. The light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) Takes place in the stroma Forms C 6 H 12 O 6 from CO 2 using ATP and NADPH The Calvin Cycle begins with carbon fixation, which incorporates CO 2 into organic molecules and then reduction produces sugar 32

Pair-Share-Respond 1. Define photosynthesis 2. Why is photosynthesis considered to be a redox reacdon? Be specific 3. What are the two stages of photosynthesis and where do they take place? 4. IdenDfy two things that occur in the first stage.
The Nature of Sunlight Light is a form of electromagnejc energy, also called electromagnejc radiajon Like other electromagnejc energy, light travels in rhythmic waves Wavelength is the distance between crests of waves Wavelength determines the type of electromagnejc energy 39
The Nature of Sunlight The electromagnedc spectrum = the endre range of electromagnedc energy, or radiadon 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 energy parjcles, called photons 40
Electromagnetic Spectrum 10 5 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 380 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 nm Shorter wavelength Higher energy Longer wavelength Lower energy
PhotosyntheJc Pigments: Light Receptors Pigments = substances that absorb visible light Different pigments absorb different wavelengths Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected or transmized Leaves appear green because chlorophyll reflects green light. We see reflected light. 42
43
Why leaves are green: interaction of light with chloroplasts Chloroplast Light Reflected light Absorbed light Granum Transmitted light
Spectrophotometer Spectrophotometer = measures a pigment s ability to absorb various wavelengths This machine sends light through pigments and measures the fracjon of light transmized at each wavelength TransmiZed light is light that is not absorbed 45
TECHNIQUE White light 1 Refracting prism Determining an absorption spectrum Chlorophyll solution 2 3 Photoelectric tube 4 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.
AbsorpJon Spectrum Absorption spectrum = a graph plotting a pigment s light absorption vs. wavelength Spectrum of chlorophyll a shows 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 such as photosynthesis 47

Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthedc pigment It absorbs the light energy Accessory pigments, such as chlorophyll b, broaden the spectrum used for photosynthesis Accessory pigments called carotenoids absorb excessive light that would damage chlorophyll 50

Chlorophyll Energy from photons may be absorbed by electrons When a pigment absorbs light, it goes from a group state to an excited state, which is unstable When excited e - s return to the ground state, photons are given off, an auerglow called fluorescence If illuminated, an isolated solujon of chlorophyll will fluoresce, giving off light and heat 52
