3. 3 Photosynthesis… The Details • Photosynthesis is divided into 2 sequential processes 1. Light reaction (stages 1 and 2) 2. Carbon Fixation (Calvin Cycle) (stage 3)
Overview of Photosynthesis 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + 6 H 2 O • Photosynthesis, like cellular respiration, is a series of redox reactions!
Tracking Atoms in Photosynthesis… Reactants 6 CO 2 Products C 6 H 12 O 6 12 H 2 O 6 O 2
What does this suggest about photosynthesis? The sugars that result from photosynthesis are produced by adding the hydrogen ions and electrons from water to carbon dioxide, NOT by splitting CO 2 and adding water! oxidized H+ and e- 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + 6 H 2 O reduced
The stages of photosynthesis… Light Dependent Reactions • Occurs along the thylakoid membrane • this is where H 2 O is oxidized. • chemiosmotic production of ATP! • electron carrier (NADPH) is synthesized
Light Reaction • Divided into 3 parts; 1. Photoexcitation-absorption of a photon by an electron of chlorophyll 2. Photosystems and the ETC 3. Chemiosmosis (sound familiar? )
Photoexcitation • Before photons strike chlorophyll, their electrons are at ground state (lowest potential energy) • Once the photon strikes the electron it becomes “excited” and moves to a higher potential energy level • The electron eventually goes back to ground state (loss of potential energy appears as heat and light-fluorescence if it is not used in photosynthesis)
Photoexcitation • Most chlorophyll do not fluoresce while in a thylakoid memebrane b/c the excited electron is captured by the primary electron acceptor • This is a redox rxn-the chlorphyll is oxidized and the primary acceptor is reduced
Photosystems and the ETC
ETC of Photosynthesis Chloroplasts transform light energy into chemical energy of ATP u generates O 2 use electron carrier NADPH
Photosystem Photon PETC
Photosynthetic Electron Transfer Chain (PETC) • series of electron carriers which take electrons from photosystem, and. . • ultimately carry electrons to NADP+
Photosystems • Experiments in the 1940’s suggested that light photons are absorbed at 2 different points along the same PETC. … • In fact, there are two Photosystems in operation

Terms • Primary electron acceptor-pheophytin (PSII) • PQ-Plastoquinone (PSII) • Z protein-splits water (PSII) the 2 electrons are used to replace the ones lost in P 680, oxygen leaves as “waste” and the protons remain adding to the gradient • B 6 -f cytochrome complex (PSII) • Pc-Plastocyanin (PSII) • Fd-ferredoxin (PSI) • NADP reductase (PSI) uses 2 electrons and H+ to reduce NADP+ to NADPH (b/c 2 electrons are needed this process must occur twice) • ATP is created by chemiosmosis due to the proton gradient in the thylakoid lumen-this drives ATP synthase. 4 protons are move into the lumen for each pair of electrons that move through the ETC
ETC of Photosynthesis • ETC uses light energy to produce – ATP & NADPH (called noncyclic electron flow) • go to Calvin cycle • PS II absorbs light – excited electron passes from chlorophyll to “primary electron acceptor-pheophytin” – need to replace electron in chlorophyll – Enzyme (z protein) extracts electrons from H 2 O & supplies them to chlorophyll • splits H 2 O (h protons) • O combines with another O to form O 2 • O 2 released to atmosphere • and we breathe easier!
Noncyclic Photophosphorylation • Light reactions elevate electrons in 2 steps (PS II & PS I) – PS II generates energy as ATP – PS I generates reducing power as NADPH ATP
Cyclic photophosphorylation • If PS I can’t pass electron to NADP…it cycles back to PS II & makes more ATP, but no NADPH – coordinates light reactions to Calvin cycle – Calvin cycle uses more ATP than NADPH 18 ATP + 12 NADPH 1 C 6 H 12 O 6 ATP
Photophosphorylation cyclic photophosphorylation NADP NONcyclic photophosphorylation ATP
Light reactions • Electron Transport Chain • like in cellular respiration – proteins in organelle membrane – electron acceptors • NADPH – proton (H+) gradient across inner membrane • find the double membrane! – ATP synthase enzyme thylakoid chloroplast + +H+ H H+ + H+ H+H +H+ H H ATP + +H+ H H+ + H+ H+H H H H
Photosynthesis summary Where did the energy come from? Where did the electrons come from? Where did the H 2 O come from? Where did the O 2 go? Where did the H+ come from? Where did the ATP come from? What will the ATP be used for? Where did the NADPH come from? What will the NADPH be used for? …stay tuned for the Calvin cycle
Practice Questions • Q 1 -8 p. 166
The stages of photosynthesis… Light Independent Reactions-Calvin Cycle • Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. • Where CO 2 is “fixed” into sugars!
Whoops! Wrong Calvin… The Calvin Cycle
Remember what it means to be a plant… • Need to produce all organic molecules necessary for growth – carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids • Need to store chemical energy (ATP) produced from light reactions – in a more stable form – that can be moved around plant – saved for a rainy day carbon + water + energy glucose + oxygen dioxide 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + light C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 energy
Light reactions • Convert solar energy to chemical energy ATP – ATP energy – NADPH reducing power • What can we do now? build stuff !! photosynthesis
How is that helpful? • Want to make C 6 H 12 O 6 – synthesis – How? From what? CO 2 are available? What raw materials NADPH carbon fixation NADP C 6 H 12 O 6 reduces CO 2 NADP
From CO 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 • CO 2 has very little chemical energy – fully oxidized • C 6 H 12 O 6 contains a lot of chemical energy – highly reduced • Synthesis = endergonic process – put in a lot of energy • Reduction of CO 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 proceeds in many small uphill steps – each catalyzed by a specific enzyme – using energy stored in ATP & NADPH
From Light reactions to Calvin cycle • Calvin cycle – chloroplast stroma • Need products of light reactions to drive stroma synthesis reactions – ATP – NADPH thylakoid

To G 3 P and Beyond! • Glyceraldehyde-3 -P – end product of Calvin cycle – energy rich 3 carbon sugar – “C 3 photosynthesis” • G 3 P is an important intermediate • G 3 P glucose carbohydrates lipids phospholipids, fats, waxes amino acids proteins nucleic acids DNA, RNA
Ru. Bis. Co • Enzyme which fixes carbon from air – ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase – the most important enzyme in the world! • it makes life out of air! – definitely the most abundant enzyme
Accounting • The accounting is complicated – 3 turns of Calvin cycle = 1 G 3 P – 3 CO 2 1 G 3 P (3 C) – 6 turns of Calvin cycle = 1 C 6 H 12 O 6 (6 C) – 6 CO 2 1 C 6 H 12 O 6 (6 C) – 18 ATP + 12 NADPH 1 C 6 H 12 O 6 – any ATP left over from light reactions will be used elsewhere by the cell
Photosynthesis summary • Light reactions – produced ATP – produced NADPH – consumed H 2 O – produced O 2 as byproduct • Calvin cycle – consumed CO 2 – produced G 3 P (sugar) – regenerated ADP – regenerated NADP

even though this equation is a bit of a lie… it makes a better story sun Energy cycle Photosynthesis light CO 2 + H 2 O + energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 plants CO 2 H 2 O glucose animals, plants ATP C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 energy + CO 2 + H 2 O Cellular Respiration The Great Circle of Life, Mufasa! ATP O 2
Summary of photosynthesis 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + light C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 energy • • • Where did the CO 2 come from? Where did the CO 2 go? Where did the H 2 O come from? Where did the H 2 O go? Where did the energy come from? What’s the energy used for? What will the C 6 H 12 O 6 be used for? Where did the O 2 come from? Where will the O 2 go? What else is involved…not listed in this equation?
Supporting a biosphere • On global scale, photosynthesis is the most important process for the continuation of life on Earth – each year photosynthesis… • captures 121 billion tons of CO 2 • synthesizes 160 billion tons of carbohydrate – heterotrophs are dependent on plants as food source for fuel & raw materials
The poetic perspective… • All the solid material of every plant was built by sunlight out of thin air • All the solid material of every animal was built from plant material air Then all the plants, cats, dogs, elephants & people … are really particles of air woven together by strands of sunlight! sun
