Regents Biology Photosynthesis: Life from Light and Air
3
Regents Biology Plants are energy producers Like animals, plants need energy to live unlike animals, plants don’t need to eat food to make that energy Plants make both FOOD & ENERGY animals are consumers plants are producers
4
Regents Biology How do plants make energy & food? Plants use the energy from the sun to make ATP (energy) to make sugars glucose, sucrose, cellulose, starch, & more sun ATP sugars
5
Regents Biology H2OH2O Building plants from sunlight & air Photosynthesis 2 separate processes ENERGY building reactions LIGHT DEPENDENT RXN collect sun energy use it to make ATP (chemical energy) SUGAR building reactions LIGHT INDEPENDENT RXN take the ATP energy collect CO 2 from air & H 2 O from ground use all to build sugars ATP sun sugars + CO 2
6
Regents Biology Using light & air to grow plants Photosynthesis using sun’s energy to make ATP using CO 2 & water to make sugar in chloroplasts (leaf) allows plants to grow makes a waste product oxygen (O 2 )
7
Regents Biology What do plants need to grow? The “factory” for making energy & sugars chloroplast Fuels sunlight carbon dioxide water The Helpers enzymes H2OH2O sugars ATP enzymes CO 2 sun
8
Regents Biology H2OH2O Photosynthesis ENERGY building reactions SUGAR building reactions ATP ADP CO 2 sugar sun used immediately to synthesize sugars
9
AP Biology Chloroplasts double membrane stroma fluid-filled interior thylakoid sacs Thylakoid membrane contains chlorophyll molecules electron transport chain ATP synthase Plant structure outer membrane inner membrane thylakoid granum stroma
10
AP Biology Pigments of photosynthesis Chlorophylls & other pigments embedded in thylakoid membrane arranged in a “photosystem” Collection of pigment molecules embedded in a protein
11
AP Biology Photosynthesis Light reactions light-dependent reactions ENERGY conversion reactions convert solar energy to chemical energy ATP & NADPH (products – will move into the calvin cycle) Calvin cycle light-independent reactions SUGAR building reactions uses chemical energy (ATP & NADPH) to reduce CO 2 & synthesize glucose - C 6 H 12 O 6
12
AP Biology Light Reactions of Photosynthesis Photosystem IIPhotosystem I
13
AP Biology ETC of Photosynthesis (electron transport chain) ETC uses light energy to produce ATP & NADPH… Which then go to Calvin cycle PS II absorbs light excited electron passes from chlorophyll to “primary electron acceptor” need to replace electron in chlorophyll enzyme extracts electrons from H 2 O & supplies them to chlorophyll splits H 2 O O combines with another O to form O 2 O 2 released to atmosphere and we breathe easier!
14
AP Biology ETC of Photosynthesis PS II absorbs light excited electron passes from chlorophyll to “primary electron acceptor” Electron passes down ETC Each time electron is passed, releases a little E E is used to pump H + from stroma into thylakoid H + diffuse down conc. gradient back into stroma Pass through ATP Synthase, allowing it to make ATP Sent to Calvin Cycle (in Stroma)
15
AP Biology ETC of Photosynthesis PS I absorbs light excited electron passes from chlorophyll to “primary electron acceptor” need to replace electron in chlorophyll Electron comes from ETC of PSII Excited electron passes to electron carrier molecule NADPH Sent to Calvin Cycle in the stroma

18
AP Biology From Light reactions to Calvin cycle Calvin cycle chloroplast stroma Need products of light reactions to drive synthesis reactions ATP NADPH stroma thylakoid

20
AP Biology RuBisCo Enzyme which fixes carbon from air ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase the most important enzyme in the world! it makes life out of air! definitely the most abundant enzyme
21
AP Biology Photosynthesis summary Light reactions produced ATP produced NADPH consumed H 2 O produced O 2 as byproduct Calvin cycle consumed CO 2 produced G3P (sugar) regenerated ADP regenerated NADP
22
AP Biology Light Reactions O2O2 H2OH2O Energy Building Reactions ATP produces ATP produces NADPH releases O 2 as a waste product sunlight H2OH2O ATP O2O2 light energy +++ NADPH
23
AP Biology Calvin Cycle sugars CO 2 Sugar Building Reactions ADP builds sugars uses ATP & NADPH recycles ADP & NADP back to make more ATP & NADPH ATP NADPH NADP CO 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 +++ NADPATP + NADPHADP
