This document provides an overview of photosynthesis. It begins by defining photosynthesis as the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. It then describes the two stages of photosynthesis - the light-dependent reactions where ATP and NADPH are produced, and the light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle where glucose is produced. The document outlines the structures involved like chloroplasts and thylakoids, and pigments like chlorophyll. It also compares C3 and C4 pathways of photosynthesis.

photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
Photosynthesis is an inevitable process that keeps us alive.It is the main source for food and it's byproduct keeps us breathing. This ppt is the detailed explanation of photosynthesis and the components involved in it. Here you can easily understand the concept and you are able to strengthen your grip on this topic.
Photosynthetic organelle and its role in crop improvementSushrutMohapatra
Chloroplasts are organelles specializing in the conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy. The chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis and consequently cells that contain chloroplasts are autotrophic, which means that they are able to make their own food from inorganic molecules by using the radiant energy of sunlight. The chloroplast converts the radiant energy of the sun into chemical energy by producing organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. The individual reactions of photosynthesis span times from femtoseconds to hours and can be divided into two major groups, reactions that require light directly and reactions that do not require light directly. Chloroplasts contain the single most important pigment on earth, i.e., chlorophyll. They impart the characteristic green colour to plants and carry out photosynthesis, the ultimate source of all organic compounds. Chloroplasts are typically biconvex lens-shaped of about 5 u diameter and 3 µ thickness. However, they exhibit a large variation is size and shape. An average cell may have 20-40 chloroplasts. but some algae, e.g. Chlamydomonas, have a single chloroplast per cell. The average chemical composition of chloroplasts may be as follows: protein 50-59 per cent, lipid 21-34 per cent, chlorophyll 5-8 per cent. carotenoids 0.7-1.1 per cent, RNA 1-7.5 per cent, and DNA 0.2-1 per cent. Chlorophyll and carotenoid molecules are associated with chloroplast thylakoid membranes.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. • Almost all plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, as
are some bacteria and protists
– Autotrophs generate their own organic matter through
photosynthesis
– Sunlight energy is transformed to energy stored in the
form of chemical bonds

flowering plants

AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
9. Steps of Photosynthesis
• Light hits reaction centers of chlorophyll,
found in chloroplasts
• Chlorophyll vibrates and causes water
to break apart.
• Oxygen is released into air
• Hydrogen remains in chloroplast
attached to NADPH
• “THE LIGHT REACTION”
10. Steps of Photosynthesis
• The DARK Reactions= Calvin Cycle
• CO2 from atmosphere is joined to H
from water molecules (NADPH) to form
glucose
• Glucose can be converted into other
molecules with yummy flavors!
11. • In most plants, photosynthesis occurs primarily
in the leaves, in the chloroplasts
• A chloroplast contains:
– stroma, a fluid
– grana, stacks of thylakoids
• The thylakoids contain chlorophyll
– Chlorophyll is the green pigment that captures light
for photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts

19. • The O2 liberated by photosynthesis is made from
the oxygen in water (H+ and e-)
Plants produce O2 gas by splitting H2O
20. • Two connected photosystems collect photons of
light and transfer the energy to chlorophyll
electrons
• The excited electrons are passed from the
primary electron acceptor to electron transport
chains
– Their energy ends up in ATP and NADPH
In the light reactions, electron transport
chains generate ATP, NADPH, & O2
21. • The electron transport chains are arranged with
the photosystems in the thylakoid membranes
and pump H+ through that membrane
– The flow of H+ back through the membrane is
harnessed by ATP synthase to make ATP
– In the stroma, the H+ ions combine with NADP+ to
form NADPH

26. Light Independent Reactions
aka Calvin Cycle
Carbon from CO2 is
converted to glucose
(ATP and NADPH
drive the reduction
of CO2 to C6H12O6.)
27. Light Independent Reactions
aka Calvin Cycle
CO2 is added to the 5-C sugar RuBP by the enzyme
rubisco.
This unstable 6-C compound splits to two molecules of
PGA or 3-phosphoglyceric acid.
PGA is converted to Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
(G3P), two of which bond to form glucose.
G3P is the 3-C sugar formed by three turns of the cycle.

• A summary of
the chemical
processes of
photosynthesis
30. Competing Reactions
• Rubisco grabs CO2, “fixing” it into a carbohydrate
in the light independent reactions.
• O2 can also react with rubisco, inhibiting its active
site
– not good for glucose output
– wastes time and energy (occupies Rubisco)
31. Leaf Anatomy
• In C3 plants (those that do C3 photosynthesis), all
processes occur in the mesophyll cells.

32. C4 Pathway
• In C4 plants
photosynthesis occurs in
both the mesophyll and
the bundle sheath cells.

33. C4 Pathway
• CO2 is fixed into a 4-
carbon intermediate
• Has an extra enzyme–
PEP Carboxylase that
initially traps CO2
instead of Rubisco–
makes a 4 carbon
intermediate
34. C4 Pathway
• The 4 carbon intermediate is
“smuggled” into the bundle
sheath cell
• The bundle sheath cell is not
very permeable to CO2
• CO2 is released from the 4C
malate goes through the
Calvin Cycle
