1 Photosynthesis: An Overview Chapter 8

2 ATP Energy Storage

3 How do heterotrophic organisms get energy?  Consume “food.”  Macromolecules that provide energy:  Lipids  Proteins  Carbohydrates How do they use energy?

4 ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate molecule energy-carrying molecule storage releasing Used for short term storage & releasing of energy Adenine Ribose 3 Phosphate Groups high energy bonds

5 ADP and ATP are constantly being recycled recycled by the living cell Use energy to ADD phosphate group Break bond to LOSE phosphate group to release energy IN OUT

6 NADP+ and NADPH are similar with adding a Hydrogen ATP ADPpartially ADP is like a partially-charged battery, ATPfully while ATP is said to be fully-charged. ADPATP Energy Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Partially charged battery Fully charged battery

7 Why do cells need energy? To carry out active transport  Such as ion pumps To move organelles within the cell To synthesize (make) proteins & sugars for life functions ONE sugar molecule stores x90 more energy than ATP

8 Photosynthesis Gathering Light Energy from the Sun

9 PSN uses Visible Light from the SUN Travels in wavelengths Distance between crests determines color & energy Color seen is reflected, all others are absorbed

10 Absorption of Light by Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b Section 8-2 Figure 8-5 Chlorophyll Light Absorption Pigments = molecules that reflect/absorb light Chlorophyll  in chloroplasts  photo-sensitive membrane captures solar energy Xanthophylls Carotenoids

11 Chloroplasts In a plant Micrograph of a chloroplast

12 Chloroplasts Structure

13 Light Energy Chloroplast CO 2 + H 2 OSugars + O 2 Section 8-2 Photosynthesis: Reactants and Products PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis time for a SCIENCE video

14 Photosynthesis PART 1. Light-Dependent Reactions  In the thylakoid  Chlorophyll absorbs sun’s energy  Energy transferred to electrons  Like “Hot potatoes”  H 2 0 SPLIT & O 2 is by products  Charge up & Carry Energy  NADP+  NADPH  ADP  ATP  Think of these like an oven mitt to carry “hot potatoes”

15 Photosynthesis Part 2. Light-Independent = Calvin Cycle  (sunlight not directly needed)  In the stroma  CO 2 comes in and NADPH and ATP convert it to glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 )

16 The Photosynthesis Equation light 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon Water Glucose Oxygen Dioxide (Sugar)

19 8.3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis

20 Light-dependent Reactions  Photosystem: light capturing unit containing chlorophyll  Electron transport system: electron carrier molecules that shuttle electrons, energy released to make ATP  Electrons in chlorophyll must be replaced by electrons from water so that cycle may continue; oxygen is liberated from the light reactions  Light reactions make ATP and NADPH used to fuel the reactions of the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions)

23 Light Independent Reaction /Calvin Cycle  ATP and NADPH from light reactions used to break CO 2 apart, then reassemble the carbons into glucose.  Called carbon fixation: taking carbon from an inorganic molecule (atmospheric CO 2 ) and making an organic molecule out of it (glucose)
