21
Action Spectrum of Photosynthesis
22
Absorption Spectra (various photosynthetic pigments)
23
Carotenoids (lipids) Xanthophyll – yellow (has oxygen) Carotene – orange/yellow (lacks oxygen) Alpha & Beta
24
Absorption Spectrum of A & B Carotene
25
Phycobilins (straight-chain tetrapyrole group attached to a protein) Phycocyanin (bluish) Phycoerythrin (reddish) Phytochromes
26
Phycocyanin & Phycoerythrin Absorption Spectra
27
Absorption Spectrum of the Phytochromes
28
Accessory Pigments other chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenes …….. 1. Absorb light and pass it on to chlorophyll a. 2. Prevents photooxidation of chlorophyll a.
29
Flavinoids (water soluble – all absorb UV light) Anthocyanins red-purple (indicator) Flavones UV light (bee guides) Aurones yellows
30
Betacyanins (water soluble – absorb some UV light) - Contains Nitrogen - Found in plant groups that do not produce anthocyanins: Chenopodiales – goosefoots, cactuses, portulacas. - Red/Yellow (indicator)

34
Two types of PUs or Photosystems, Structured into the Thylacoid Membrane Photosystem II 680 nm more chl b Photosystem I 700 nm more chl a and carotenoids Need both red wavelengths for enhanced photosynthesis R. Emerson, 1950’s (Each system carries out certain reactions. Link by electron acceptors in Light Phase of Photosynthesis.)

47
Oxidative Pentose Phosphate Cycle (Source of NADPH2 for lipid synthesis: RuMP (C5) for Nucleic Acid Production) Enzymes of the Photosynthetic Carbon Reduction Cycle (PCR) only function with light.

Warburg Effect 1920’s
51
RuBp Oxygenase Reaction (Rubisco) Favored in High Temp or Low CO 2, High O 2 “Photorespiration”

55
The C 4 Syndrome Another Way of Assimilating CO 2
57
Krans Leaf Anatomy
58
C- 4 Plants Krans Leaf Anatomy Mesophyll Chloroplasts - have grana Bundle Sheath Chloroplasts - no grana - much starch storage
59
Advantages of C 4 Photosynthesis
60
1. Steeper CO 2 Utilization Gradient 2. Decreased Photorespiration 3. Arrangement of Mesophyll/Bundle Sheath Cells favorable to Transport
61
Disadvantages of C 4 Photosynthesis
62
1. Extra Biochemical Steps (energy expense)
63
CAM Plants - CAM Plants do not have Krans Leaf Anatomy. - CAM Plants use PEP as a CO 2 Trap – as in C 4 plants - CO2 Trapping and PCR cycle separated in time.

68
Effects of Light (Differences Between C 3 and C 4 Plants)
69
Effects of Light Light-Saturated Photosynthesis 1/3 full sunlight for most plants (mostly limited by PCR Cycle Reactions) Light-Limited Photosynthesis Only at very low light intensities (Light Compensation point - Below CO 2 accumulation) Blackman’s Principle of limiting Factors
72
Shade Plants Thinner Leaves More Chlorophylls; Less Carotenoids (Chl a less protected from photooxidation) PSUII:PSUI = 3:1 Lower light compensation point
73
Sun Plants Thicker Leaves Less Chlorophylls; More Carotenoids (Chl a more protected from photooxidation) PSUII:PSUI = 2:1 Higher light compensation point
