8 Photosynthesis

Excitation of Chlorophyll by Light When a pigment absorbs light, it goes from a ground state to an excited state, which is unstable When excited electrons fall back to the ground state, photons are given off, an afterglow called fluorescence If illuminated, an isolated solution of chlorophyll will fluoresce, giving off light and heat © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 2

A Photosystem: A Reaction-Center Complex Associated with Light-Harvesting Complexes A photosystem consists of a reaction-center complex (a type of protein complex) surrounded by light-harvesting complexes The light-harvesting complexes (pigment molecules bound to proteins) transfer the energy of photons to the reaction center © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 5

A primary electron acceptor in the reaction center accepts excited electrons and is reduced as a result Solar-powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor is the first step of the light reactions © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 6

There are two types of photosystems in the thylakoid membrane Photosystem II (PS II) functions first (the numbers reflect order of discovery) and is best at absorbing a wavelength of 680 nm The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS II is called P680 © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 10

Photosystem I (PS I) is best at absorbing a wavelength of 700 nm The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS I is called P700 P680 and P700 are nearly identical, but their association with different proteins results in different light-absorbing properties © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 11

Linear Electron Flow Linear electron flow involves the flow of electrons through the photosystems and other molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane to produce ATP and NADPH using light energy © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 12

Linear electron flow can be broken down into a series of steps A photon hits a pigment and its energy is passed among pigment molecules until it excites P680 An excited electron from P680 is transferred to the primary electron acceptor (we now call it P680+) H2O is split by enzymes, and the electrons are transferred from the hydrogen atoms to P680+, thus reducing it to P680; O2 is released as a by-product © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 13

Each electron “falls” down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS II to PS I Energy released by the fall drives the creation of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane; diffusion of H+ (protons) across the membrane drives ATP synthesis © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 14

In PS I (like PS II), transferred light energy excites P700, causing it to lose an electron to an electron acceptor (we now call it P700+) P700+ accepts an electron passed down from PS II via the electron transport chain © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 15

Excited electrons “fall” down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS I to the protein ferredoxin (Fd) The electrons are transferred to NADP+, reducing it to NADPH, and become available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle This process also removes an H+ from the stroma © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 16

A Comparison of Chemiosmosis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Chloroplasts and mitochondria generate ATP by chemiosmosis but use different sources of energy Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 25

Spatial organization of chemiosmosis differs between chloroplasts and mitochondria but there are also similarities Both use the energy generated by an electron transport chain to pump protons (H+) across a membrane against their concentration gradient Both rely on the diffusion of protons through ATP synthase to drive the synthesis of ATP © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 26

In mitochondria, protons are pumped to the intermembrane space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the mitochondrial matrix In chloroplasts, protons are pumped into the thylakoid space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the stroma © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 27

The light reactions of photosynthesis generate ATP and increase the potential energy of electrons by moving them from H2O to NADPH ATP and NADPH are produced on the side of the thylakoid membrane facing the stroma, where the Calvin cycle takes place The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH to power the synthesis of sugar from CO2 © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. 30
