8 9/19/2015 Conjugated double bonds Chlorophyll
10
9 9/19/2015 Light reaction chl = chlorophyll A = electron acceptor chl chl * (excited form) chl * + A chl + + A - Light

10 9/19/2015 Light harvesting in a photosystem Primary electron acceptor Photon Light harvesting centre (antenna) Reaction centre e-e-
12
11 9/19/2015 Light reactions n Electrons are ejected from chlorophyll in reaction center n Energy from excited electrons is used –to pump protons (H + ) across a membrane – to reduce NADP + n Proton motor force (PMF) across membrane drives ATP synthesis

16
15 9/19/2015 Two modes of photosynthetic electron transport n Cyclic (purple bacteria- old) n Non-cyclic (the more recent mode) 1 = reaction centre 2 = quinones (e - transport) 3 = proton pump (cytochromes) 4 = cytochrome 5 = ATP’ase or CF 0 CF 1 complex

24
23 9/19/2015 n Calvin & colleagues n Applied radioisotopically labelled carbon ( 14 C) to algae (in light) n Killed them n Separated the labelled products by chromatography n Determined the pathway of carbon in photosynthesis Dark Reactions of Photosynthesis
25
24 9/19/2015 Calvin Cycle
26
25 9/19/2015 Efficient Saves water too! C4 photosynthesis n Uses compartmentation of leaf n Two C-fixation steps (one is temporary) n Shuttles CO 2 to inner compartment n Fixes CO 2 by conventional C3 photosynthesis

32
31 9/19/2015 Like life, our atmosphere is e vol vi n g n Atmosphere....the dynamic gaseous boundary layer between our planet and space The Atmosphere was (and is being) created by photosynthesis... oxygen, ozone (derived from oxygen), CO 2 fixation are all regulated by photosynthesis.
