Biology 1308, Chapter 8, Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy.
Organisms that carry on photosynthesis are called autotrophs.
Heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms.
Autotrophs and heterotrophs use organic molecules produced by photosynthesis
Pigments allow photosynthetic organisms to capture solar energy.

Biology 1308, Chapter 8, Photosynthesis
Flowering Plants as PhotosynthesizersPhotosynthesis occurs in the green parts of plants
Leaves contain mesophyll tissue specialized for photosynthesis
Water is taken up by roots and transported to leaves by veins
Carbon dioxide enters through openings in the leaves called stomata
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in thylakoids of chloroplasts

Biology 1308, Chapter 8, Photosynthesis
Photosynthetic Reaction
Solar energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Glucose and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis
The oxygen given off comes from water
CO2 gains hydrogen atoms and becomes a
carbohydrate (Glucose)

Biology 1308, Chapter 8, Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis consists of two sets of reactions
Photo refers to capturing light
Synthesis refers to producing a carbohydrate

Biology 1308, Chapter 8, Photosynthesis
Light ReactionsPhotosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.Light reactions consist of two alternate electron pathways:
Noncyclic electron pathwayCyclic electron pathway
Both pathways transform solar energy to chemical energyBoth pathways produce ATP (Energy)The noncyclic pathway also produces NADPH (Reducing power – to make Carbohydrate from Carbon dioxide)

Photosynthesis Versus Cellular Respiration
Both plant and animal cells carry out cell respiration
Only plant cells photosynthesize
Both processes utilize an electron transport chain and chemiosmosis for ATP production
Photosynthesis reduces CO2 to carbohydrates and releases O2
Respiration utilizes O2 and gives off CO2
