Photosynthesis
Electron Micrograph of a Chloroplast
Photosynthesis Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent and light independent  reactions *Should not be called “light” and “dark” reactions
Light-Dependent Reactions The thylakoid membrane is populated by two types of photosystems Photosystem II (PS II) Photosystem I (PS I)
Photosystem II The starting point for light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis Electron acceptor for Photosystem II is called plastoquinone (hydrophobic) Collects two electrons from Photosystem II and relocates then to another position in the thylakoid membrane
Photosystem II Two photons of light are absorbed causing the production of one reduced plastoquinone One of the chlorophylls looses two electrons Process is repeated to reduce another plastoquinone and have a total of four lost electrons Due to the oxidising agent this produces, nearest water molecules split and give up electrons to replace the lost electrons.
Photosystem II - Photolysis Photoloysis- the splitting of water  Generates oxygen in photosynthesis as a waste product The energy gathered from Photosystem II drives all the reactions of photosynthesis
General Formula- Photosystem II 2H2O  O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
Photosystem I The useful product of Photosystem I is NADPH the reduced form of NADP+ Chlorophylls absorb light energy and pass the energy to two chlorophyll molecules at the reaction center Raises electron in one of the chlorophylls to a high energy level (photoactivation)
Photosystem I That electron travels through the chain of carriers in Photosystem I Passed to ferredoxin Two molecules of the reduced ferredoxin are used to reduce NADP+ to form NADPH + H+ Electron that was passsed to the chain of electron carriers is replaced by an electron carried by plastocyanin
Electron Transport Chain Links Photosystem II and Photosystem I Electrons excited in Phtosystem II are passed along the chain of carriers to plasocyanin, which gives the electrons to Photosystem I
Cyclic Photophosphorylation As electrons flow back along the electron transport chain from Photosystem II to Photosystem I, they cause pumping of protons, which allows ATP production
Photophosphorylation and Chemiosmosis Photophosphorylation- the production of ATP, using energy from light Due to non-cyclic photophosphorylation, a concentration gradient of protons develops across the thylakoid membrane (potential energy) Energy released by protons passing down their concentration gradient produces ATP from ADP- Chemiosmosis
Light- Independent Reactions First carbohydrate produced is triose phosphate Two triose phosphate molecules combine to from hexose phosphate Hexosephospahte can combine by condensation reactions to form starch Some triose phosphate in the chloroplast are used to regenerate RuBP
Light- Independent Reactions The conversion of 3- carbon sugars (triose phosphate) to the 5- carbon sugar (ribulose phosphate) requires three ATP
Plant absorb all visible light except for green, which is reflected
