Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis in Overview Process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria (autotrophs) store the energy of sunlight into sugars. Requires sunlight (source of energy), water, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, and temperature. Overall equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H20  C6H12O6 + 6 O2 For plants & algae, photosynthesis occurs in the leaves in organelles called chloroplasts.

Leaf Structure Most photosynthesis occurs in the palisade layer. Gas exchange of CO2 and O2 occurs at openings called stomata surrounded by guard cells on the lower leaf surface. Palisade Spongy

Chloroplast Structure Inner membrane called the thylakoid membrane. Thickened regions called thylakoids. A stack of thylakoids is called a granum. (Plural – grana) Stroma is a liquid surrounding the thylakoids.

Pigments Chlorophyll A is the most important photosynthetic pigment. Other pigments called antenna or accessory pigments are also present in the leaf. Chlorophyll B Carotenoids (orange / red) Xanthophylls (yellow / brown) These pigments are embedded in the membranes of the chloroplast in groups called photosystems.

Photosynthesis: The Chemical Process Occurs in two main phases. Light reactions Dark reactions (aka – the Calvin Cycle) Light reactions are the “photo” part of photosynthesis. Light is absorbed by pigments. Dark reactions are the “synthesis” part of photosynthesis. Trapped energy from the sun is converted to the chemical energy of sugars.

Light Reactions Light-dependent reactions occur on the thylakoid membranes. Light and water are required for this process. Energy storage molecules are formed. (ATP and NADPH) Oxygen gas is made as a waste product.

Dark Reactions Dark reactions (light-independent) occur in the stroma. Carbon dioxide is “fixed” into the sugar glucose. ATP and NADPH molecules created during the light reactions power the production of this glucose.

Overview of Photosynthesis

Temperature & Photosynthesis At low temperatures the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis have very little energy so the rate of photosynthesis is very slow As the temperature increases, the enzymes get more energy so the rate of photosynthesis increases. If it gets too hot the enzymes begin to lose their shape (denature). This means they are unable to function properly and the rate of photosynthesis decreases again.
