Photosynthesis
photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates
chemical formula: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy C6H12O6 + 6 O2
carbon dioxide + water + energy glucose + oxygen

Conditions Necessary For Photosynthesis
sunlight- only the red and blue wavelengths of white light are involved in photosynthesis
chlorophyll- a green pigment in plants that traps energy from the sun
water- supplies the hydrogen atoms (ions) needed to make glucose
carbon dioxide- supplies the carbon and oxygen atoms needed to make glucose

Photosynthesis
All organisms use energy to carry out functions for life.
All energy is obtained directly or indirectly from the sun.
Some organisms can trap energy from light and store it within organic compounds called photosynthesis.

Importance of Photosynthesis
provides food for plants and animals in the form of carbohydrates or sugar or glucose
uses oxygen as a waste product which is released into the atmosphere
changes the energy from the sun into a usable form for living organisms
provides the structural components in the cell walls of plants which is cellulose

Chloroplasts
photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplast
chloroplast has a double membrane with the inner membrane having many folds
the folds of the inner membrane fuse to together to form thylakoids
thylakoids- disk-shaped structures that contain chlorophyll; resemble coins
![Page 8: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chloroplast- continued
neatly stacked thylakoids are called grana a gel-like solution surrounds the grana and
completely fills the inner membrane called the stroma
Chlorophyll a absorbs more red light and less blue light than Chlorophyll b
only Chlorophyll a is directly involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis
![Page 9: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Process of Photosynthesis
Stage 1- Light Dependent Reactions
Stage 2 – Light Energy Converted to Chemical Energy
Stage 3 – Calvin Cycle
![Page 10: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stage 1: Light Dependent Reaction takes place inside the thylakoids energy is captured by chlorophyll from sun light water is split into hydrogen ions, oxygen ions, and
electrons hydrogen ions are used to make glucose energy released from electrons are used to make
ATP molecules which are high energy molecules oxygen is released from the chloroplast into the
atmosphere energy is also stored in NADP+ which is an electron
acceptor; once joined with an electron it becomes NADPH
![Page 11: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stage 2: Conversion of Energy
light energy is converted to chemical energy
energy is stored in the form of ATP and NADPH molecules
ATP- high energy molecules
NADPH- electron acceptors
![Page 12: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage 3: Calvin Cycle
occurs inside the stroma
carbon dioxide and hydrogen combine to form glucose
energy stored in ATP and NADPH are used
to form glucose
![Page 13: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stage 1: Light Dependent Reaction
requires sunlight and takes place in the thylakoids
the energy absorbed by the electrons of Chlorophyll a (photosynthesis II or I) causes these electrons to enter a higher energy level or “energized”
energized electrons leave Chlorophyll a (photosystem II) which makes Chlorophyll a oxidized and must undergo reduction to add back electrons
![Page 14: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stage 1: Light Dependent Reaction
energized electrons combine with molecules called the primary electron acceptors
primary electron acceptors- capture these loose electrons
primary electron acceptors guide the electrons to the electron transport chain
electron transport chain- transfers the high energy electrons from one molecule to the next in the series
this energy is used to make ATP molecules
![Page 15: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stage 1: Light Dependent Reaction
an enzyme inside the thylakoid splits a water molecule into hydrogen ions (H+ or protons), oxygen gas, and electrons
electrons released when the water molecule splits in the thylakoid replaces the electrons lost from the Chlorophyll a in photosystem II combine with Chlorophyll a in photosystem I
electrons in both photosystems must be replenished in order for photosynthesis to occur
oxygen is released into the atmosphere
![Page 16: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Stage 2: Energy ConversionFirst Path
ATP molecules are made by joining a phosphate group to ADP or two phosphate groups to AMP
ATP or adenosine triphosphate- a high energy compound that supplies energy for all chemical reactions within a living organism
ADP or adenosine diphosphate- results when ATP loses a phosphate group to release energy
AMP or adenosine monophosphate- results when ADP loses a phosphate group to provide energy
![Page 17: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stage 2: Energy Conversion
electrons + ADP + 1 phosphate group = ATP
electrons + AMP + 2 phosphate groups = ATP
![Page 18: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stage 2: Energy ConversionSecond Path
energized electros in Chlorophyll a (photosystem I) are accepted by the primary electron acceptors
again these electron acceptors direct the energized electrons to a different electron chain transport
electrons combine with a hydrogen ion and NADP+ to form NADPH
![Page 19: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stage 2: Energy ConversionSecond Path
NADP+ - an organic compound that accepts electrons
NADPH- an energy storing compound that will be used in the Calvin Cycle
hydrogen is bonded to NADPH to be used in making glucose in Calvin Cycle
![Page 20: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stage 3: Calvin Cycle (Dark Reaction)
energy is supplied by ATP and NADPH which were made in the light reaction
simple inorganic compounds of carbon dioxide are used to make a complex organic compound called glucose or carbohydrates
carbon fixation- carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are bonded into organic compounds
takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts carbon dioxide combines with a five-carbon
compound called RuBP(ribulose bisphosphate) to form a six-carbon compound
![Page 21: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stage 3: Calvin Cycle
carbon dioxide joins with RuBP to form a six-carbon compound that splits into 2 three-carbon compounds called PGA (phosphoglyceric acid or 3-phosphoglycerate)
PGA is converted into another three-carbon compound called PGAL (phosphoglyceraldehyde)
PGA + phosphate group + hydrogen = PGAL (ATP) (NADPH)
![Page 22: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stage 3: Calvin Cycle
products of the Calvin Cycle are PGAL, phosphate group, ADP, and NADP+
most PGAL is changed back into RuBP
some PGAL is converted into amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates
![Page 23: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rate of Photosynthesis
light intensity- increase light intensity, increases photosynthesis for a limited time, then levels off
carbon dioxide- increase carbon dioxide, increases photosynthesis for a limited time, then levels off
temperature- increase temperature, increases photosynthesis
chlorophyll- increase the amount of chlorophyll, increase photosynthesis
![Page 24: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis photosynthesis- the process of using light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose or carbohydrates.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f305503460f94c4b7b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
