Q: Which direction will water move? (a)from left to right (b)from right to left s = -3.6 s = -0.5 p = +2.6 p = +0.5 Cell #1 (LEFT) Cell #2 (RIGHT)
3
we have: light, CO 2, H 2 O Photosynthesis we want: carbohydrate
4
Chloroplast Thylakoid leaf mesophyll cells }
5
Photosynthesis: steps 1. water splitting chlorophyll photon is absorbed electron is ejected + + charge makes chlorophyll a strong oxidant
6
Photosynthesis: steps 1. water splitting chlorophyll + + charge makes chlorophyll a strong oxidant reductant : donates electrons oxidant : takes electrons away
7
Photosynthesis: steps H-O-H 1. water splitting chlorophyll + charge makes chlorophyll a strong oxidant electron is stripped from water H + O 2 +
8
Photosynthesis: steps 2. electron transport electron is ejected electron transport chain NADP H NADP +
9
Photosynthesis: steps 2. electron transport electron transport chain
10
Photosynthesis: steps 2. electron transport Concentration gradients are a form of energy H+H+ ADP ATP
11
Photosynthesis: steps 2. electron transport electron is ejected ADP ATP electron transport chain NADP + NADPH
12
Q: Where do the electrons that reduce NADP + originally come from? (a)water (b)CO 2 (c)oxygen (d)sunlight ADP ATP NADP + NADPH
13
Q: Is water reduced or oxidised in photosynthesis? (a)reduced (b)oxidised ADP ATP NADP + NADPH

16
Photosynthesis: stepsside note: fluorescence NADPH NADP + X photon
17
Calvin cycle Photosynthesis: steps carbon fixation CO 2 RuBP 2x PGA enzyme: Rubisco most abundant protein on Earth ~half of N in leaves big, slow
18
Calvin cycle CO 2 RuBP 2x PGA Photosynthesis: steps photorespiration: O 2 fixation enzyme: Rubisco most abundant protein on earth ~half of N in leaves big, slow also fixes oxygen O 2 RuBP PGlyc + PGA carbon lost energy consumed
19
Photosynthesis: overview 1. water splitting: provide energetic electrons 2. electron transport: generate ATP & reductant (NADPH) 3. carbon fixation: attach (fix) CO 2 to organic molecule 4. carbon reduction: use NADPH to reduce the fixed carbon
