Leaves
Leaf Structure • Epidermal tissue system – chloroplasts only in guard cells • Ground tissue system – mesophyll • Vascular tissue system • Leaf adaptations – sun and shade leaves – xerophytes
Photosynthesis sunlight, water CO 2 Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) Light reactions Oxygen (O 2) Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) (carbohydrates)
Start with the Big Picture • It’s all about energy – potential vs kinetic energy • Nearly all energy used on earth comes from the sun • Nearly all energy used on earth ends up as heat • Metabolism – the way living things manage energy
Laws of Thermodynamics • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another • In any transfer of energy there is always loss of useful energy, usually as heat
What makes chemical reactions happen? • Chemical bonds have potential energy • When the bonds are broken, the energy is released • Cells transfer energy from one molecule to another, often as a proton (H+) or electron (e-) • Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions • ATP has high-energy phosphate bonds • ATP bonds come from glucose • Glucose comes from. . .
Metabolism summary • Photosynthesis – light reactions – dark reactions • Respiration – glycolysis – Krebs cycle – electron transport – fermentation Solar energy captured in chemical bonds Chemical bond energy is released to do work
Photosynthesis CO 2 sunlight, water Thylakoid membrane Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) ATP, NADPH Light reactions Chloroplast stroma oxygen Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) (carbohydrates)
Movie
Light Reactions of Photosynthesis • Chlorophyll is a pigment in the thylakoid membrane • It can absorb light energy • The absorbed energy knocks an electron out Movie 1 of the chlorophyll molecule • This electron is transported from one molecule to another • The energy is used to make ATP Movie 2 • The original electron is replaced with one from a molecule of water, releasing O 2
A good summary. . .
Dark Reactions (Calvin cycle) • Occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast • CO 2 diffuses into spongy mesophyll cells • RUBISCO is the enzyme that fixes the CO 2 into a carbon compound – it’s the most abundant protein on earth – a very complicated enzyme!
Rubisco
Calvin cycle Movie
The atmosphere contains oxygen because of photosynthesis
Oxygen causes a problem for RUBISCO • RUBISCO binds O 2 as well as CO 2 – the substrates compete for the active site • O 2 results in no new sugar • Some plants have evolved a way to avoid this wasteful reaction
