2. Photosynthesis  Ultimate source of carbon and energy for all living things

3. Halobacterium: Simplest photosynthesis  Bacteriorhodopsin uses light energy to pump protons H+H+ outside cytoplasm H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ ATP synthase H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ ADP ATP bacteriorhodopsin light

4. Plants have been doing this for a while…

5. Plant photosynthesis overview  Light powers ATP synthesis  CO 2 + ATP used to synthesize glucose light energy ATP CO 2 glucose

6. Reactions of photosynthesis  Light-dependent: capture energy as ATP and NADPH  Light-independent: CO 2 → glucose (“fix” carbon) light energy ATP CO 2 glucose 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy  C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2

7. The chloroplast  Light-dependent reactions in thylakoid membrane  Light-independent reactions in stroma thylakoid space t.m. i.m. o.m. granum stroma

8. Light-dependent reactions  Capture light energy as ATP and NADPH  Occur in thylakoid membrane free energy (G) e- photosystem II photosystem I light ATP ADP NADPH NADP

9. Chlorophyll  Light-harvesting pigment in thylakoid membrane  Lipid-like structure with large carbon ring  Absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light (reflects back green)

10. Photosystem II  “Satellite dish” of chlorophyll in membrane  Light-gathering “antenna” molecules  Pass energy to “reaction center” or (“special pair”) chlorophyll light

11. Photosystem II  Reaction center chlorophyll oxidizes H 2 O → O 2  Using light energy, energizes e –  Transfers e – to electron transport chain light H2OH2O O2O2 e–e– electron carrier e- photosystem II light

12.  Electron transport  Cytochrome oxidase complex pumps H + into thylakoid space  Electrons transferred to Photosystem I Photosystem II stroma thylakoid space H2OH2O O2O2 H+H+ H+H+ e–e– H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ cytochrome oxidase complex photosystem II photosystem I

14. Photosystem I  Second chlorophyll complex  Re-energizes “used” electron free energy (G) e- NADPH photosystem II photosystem I light ATP ADP NADP

15.  Electron transport  Electron transferred to NADP + → NADPH  Electrons transferred to Photosystem I Photosystem I stroma thylakoid space H2OH2O O2O2 H+H+ H+H+ e–e– H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ cytochrome oxidase complex photosystem II photosystem I NADP + NADPH

16. Light-dependent reactions  Capture light energy as ATP and NADPH  Why does the plant want NADPH? free energy (G) e- photosystem II photosystem I light ATP ADP NADPH NADP

17. Light-independent (“dark”) reactions  Why does the plant want to make glucose? CO 2 glucose ATPNADPH

18. Light-independent (“dark”) reactions  CO 2 reduced to make glucose  Occurs in stroma  Calvin cycle CO 2 glucose ATP NADPH 3C carbohydrate
