A. LightVisible light makes up only a small portion
of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Sunlight consists of:
4% Ultraviolet (UV) radiation
44% Visible light 52% Infrared (IR)
radiation

Characteristics of Visible Light: is a spectrum of colors ranging from
violet to red consists of packets of energy called
photons photons travel in waves, having a
measurable wavelength () = distance a photon travels during a complete vibration [measured in nanometers (nm)]
![Page 4: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A photon’s energy is inversely related to its wavelength......the shorter the , the greater the
energy it possesses.Which of the following photons possess
the greatest amount of energy?
Green photons = 530nmRed photons = 660nmBlue photons = 450nm

What happens to light when it strikes an object?
reflected (bounces off)
Only absorbed wavelengths of light function in photosynthesis.
transmitted (passes through)
absorbed

B. Photosynthetic PigmentsMolecules that capture photon
energy by absorbing certain wavelengths of light.
1. Primary pigmentsBacteriochlorophyll - green
pigment found in certain bacteria.Chlorophylls a & b - bluish green
pigments found in plants, green algae & cyanobacteria.
![Page 7: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Chlorophyll a is the dominant pigment in plant cells.

2. Accessory PigmentsCarotenoids - red, orange, yellow
pigments found in plants, algae, bacteria & archaea.
Phycoerythrin - red pigment found in red algae.
Phycocyanin - blue pigment found in red algae & cyanobacteria.
Each pigment absorbs a particular range of wavelengths.

C. ChloroplastsSites of photosynthesis in plants &
algae.Concentrated in mesophyll cells of
most plants.
![Page 11: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chloroplast structure:
Stroma - gelatinous matrix; contains ribosomes, DNA & various enzymes.
Thylakoid - flattened membranous sac; embedded with photosynthetic pigments.
![Page 12: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
D. Photosynthesis
Occurs in two stages: Light reactions - harvest photon
energy to synthesize ATP & NADPH. Carbon reactions (Calvin cycle) -
use energy from light reactions to reduce CO2 to carbohydrate.
6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
![Page 13: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overview of Photosynthesis
![Page 14: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Light Reactionsrequire lightoccur in thylakoids of chloroplasts involve photosystems I & II (light
harvesting systems).
Photosystems contain antenna complex that captures photon energy & passes it to a reaction center.

Light Reactions of Photosynthesis
![Page 16: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ATP Production by Chemiosmotic Phosphorylation
![Page 17: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. Carbon Reactions (Calvin cycle; C3 cycle) do NOT require light (occur in both
darkness & light as long as ATP & NADPH are available)
occur in stroma of chloroplastsrequire ATP & NADPH (from light
reactions), and CO2
![Page 18: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Calvin Cycle
![Page 19: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Plants that use only the Calvin cycle to fix carbon are called C3 plants.
Ex. cereals, peanuts, tobacco, spinach, sugar beets, soybeans, most trees & lawn grasses.
![Page 20: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
E. PhotorespirationProcess that counters
photosynthesis.Occurs when stomata close under hot,
dry conditions:O2 levels in plant increase
CO2 levels in plant decrease
Under these conditions, rubisco fixes O2 (rather than CO2).
Thus, PGAL is NOT produced.
![Page 21: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
F. C4 and CAM Photosynthesis
Adaptations that allow certain plants to conserve water and reduce photorespiration at higher temperatures.
1. C4 Photosynthesis
C4 plants reduce photorespiration by physically separating the light reactions and Calvin cycle.
![Page 22: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Leaf anatomy of a C4 plant
C4 Photosynthesis: Light reactions occur
in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
Calvin cycle occurs in chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells.
![Page 23: Chapter 6 PHOTOSYNTHESIS. A. Light Visible light makes up only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sunlight consists of: ] 4% Ultraviolet.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052310/551419d7550346dd488b54cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. CAM PhotosynthesisCAM plants reduce photorespiration
by acquiring CO2 at night.
Night: mesophyll cells fix
CO2 as malic acid malic acid is stored
in vacuoles.
Day: malic acid releases
CO2 which enters Calvin cycle.
Malic acid
