16 History of Photosynthesis & Plant Pigments

17 Photosynthesis Involves the use of light energy to convert Water (H 2 0) and Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) into into Oxygen (O 2 ) and Carbohydrates (sugars, e.g. Glucose, & Starches)

18 Investigating Photosynthesis Many Scientists Have Contributed To Understanding PhotosynthesisMany Scientists Have Contributed To Understanding Photosynthesis Early Research Focused On The Overall ProcessEarly Research Focused On The Overall Process Later Researchers Investigated The Detailed Chemical PathwaysLater Researchers Investigated The Detailed Chemical Pathways

19 Early Questions on Plants Several centuries ago, the question was: Does the increase in mass of a plant come from the air? The soil? The Water? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

20 Van Helmont’s Experiment 1643 Planted a seed into a pre- measured amount of soil and watered it for 5 yearsPlanted a seed into a pre- measured amount of soil and watered it for 5 years Weighed plant & soil. Plant was 75 kg; soil mass didn’t change.Weighed plant & soil. Plant was 75 kg; soil mass didn’t change. Concluded mass came from waterConcluded mass came from water WHAT DO YOU THINK?

21 Priestley’s Experiment 1771 Burned candle in bell jar & timed until it went out. Placed sprig of mint in bell jar for a few days. Relit candle. Burned longer with mint plant in jar. Concluded plants must release a gaseous substance necessary for burning.

22 Ingenhousz’s Experiment 1779 Repeated Priestly experiment with & without sunlight, and with & without green plant

23 Results of Ingenhousz’s Experiment Showed that Priestley’s results only occurred in the presence of sunlight and a green plant.Showed that Priestley’s results only occurred in the presence of sunlight and a green plant. Light was necessary for plants to produce the “burning gas”Light was necessary for plants to produce the “burning gas”

24 Julius Robert Mayer 1845 Proposed that plants can convert Light Energy Light Energyinto Chemical Energy

25 Samuel Ruben & Martin Kamen 1941 Used radioactive isotopes to determine that the oxygen liberated in photosynthesis comes from the water molecule KAMEN RUBIN

26 Melvin Calvin 1948 First to trace the path that carbon (CO 2 ) takes in forming GlucoseFirst to trace the path that carbon (CO 2 ) takes in forming Glucose Pathway does NOT require sunlightPathway does NOT require sunlight Called the Calvin Cycle or Light Independent ReactionCalled the Calvin Cycle or Light Independent Reaction Also known as the Dark ReactionAlso known as the Dark Reaction

27 Rudolph Marcus 1992 Studied the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reactions)Studied the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reactions) First to describe the Electron Transport Chain as source of energyFirst to describe the Electron Transport Chain as source of energy

28 The Photosynthesis Equation

29 Pigments In addition to water, carbon dioxide, and light energy, photosynthesis requires Pigments Chlorophyll is the primary light-absorbing pigment in autotrophs Chlorophyll is found inside chloroplasts

30 Light and Pigments Energy From The Sun Enters Earth’s Biosphere As Photons Photon = A unit of Light Energy Light Contains A Mixture Of Wavelengths Different Wavelengths Have Different Colors

31 Light & Pigments Different pigments absorb different wavelengths of lightDifferent pigments absorb different wavelengths of light Photons of light “excite” electrons in the plant’s pigmentsPhotons of light “excite” electrons in the plant’s pigments Excited electrons carryExcited electrons carry the absorbed energy Excited electrons leap toExcited electrons leap to HIGHER energy levels (1 level = 1 quantum leap)(1 level = 1 quantum leap)

32 Chlorophyll There are 2 main types of chlorophyll molecules: Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b A third type, chlorophyll c, is found in microscopic dinoflagellates

33 Chlorophyll a and b Not much diff eren ce. Can you find it??

34 Chlorophyll a Found in all plants, algae, & cyanobacteriaFound in all plants, algae, & cyanobacteria Makes photosynthesis possibleMakes photosynthesis possible Absorbs red & blue light and REFLECTS GREENAbsorbs red & blue light and REFLECTS GREEN Participates directly in the Light ReactionsParticipates directly in the Light Reactions

35 Chlorophyll b Chlorophyll b is an accessory (helper) pigmentChlorophyll b is an accessory (helper) pigment Chlorophyll b acts indirectly in photosynthesis by transferring the light energy it absorbs to chlorophyll aChlorophyll b acts indirectly in photosynthesis by transferring the light energy it absorbs to chlorophyll a Like chlorophyll a, it absorbs red & blue light and REFLECTS GREENLike chlorophyll a, it absorbs red & blue light and REFLECTS GREEN

49 Light Dependent Reaction

50 Photosynthesis Begins Chlorophyll a & b absorb light energy Electrons are energized and passed to the Electron Transport Chain Lost electrons are replaced from the splitting of water into 2H +, free electrons, and Oxygen 2H + pumped across thylakoid membrane

51 Photosynthesis continues High-energy electrons are moved into chemical reactions through the Electron Transport Chain Energy is used to transport H + from stroma to inner thylakoid membrane NADP+ converted to NADPH when it picks up 2 electrons & H+

52 Photosynthesis continues Enzyme in thylakoid membrane called ATP Synthase As H+ ions passed through thylakoid membrane, enzyme binds them to ADP This forms ATP used for cellular respiration

59 Factors Affecting the Rate of Photosynthesis Amount of available waterAmount of available water TemperatureTemperature Amount of available light energyAmount of available light energy

Water affects Photosynthesis Aqueous solutions are needed for many chemical reactions to occur 60 Water molecules are split to release H + and energy. This recharges the ATP/NADPH batteries Oxygen is released as ‘waste’ from splitting water

Enzymes in Photosynthesis Temperature effects photosynthesis for several reasons. Water cannot be used in photosynthesis reactions if it is frozen Enzymes do not function well at extreme temperatures 61 Enzyme - assisted action in photosyn thesis

Light and Photosynthesis Energy to power Photosynthesis reactions depends on… Hours of light energy Wavelength of light 62 Chlorophyll a & b work best in these light waves Chlorophyll a & b reflect GREEN light (that’s why leaves appear green)
