The Process That Feeds the Biosphere

Photosynthesis is the process that converts solar energy into chemical energy

Directly or indirectly, photosynthesis nourishes almost the entire living world

Autotrophs sustain themselves without eating anything derived from other organisms

Autotrophs are the producers of the biosphere, producing organic molecules from CO2 and other inorganic molecules

Almost all plants are photoautotrophs, using the energy of sunlight to make organic molecules

Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, certain other unicellular eukaryotes, and some prokaryotes

These organisms feed not only themselves but also most of the living world

Heterotrophs obtain their organic material from other organisms

Heterotrophs are the consumers of the biosphere

Almost all heterotrophs, including humans, depend on photoautotrophs for food and O2

Earth’s supply of fossil fuels was formed from the remains of organisms that died hundreds of millions of years ago

In a sense, fossil fuels represent stores of solar energy from the distant past

Concept 11.1: Photosynthesis converts light energy to the chemical energy of food Chloroplasts are structurally similar to and likely

evolved from photosynthetic bacteria

The structural organization of these organelles allows for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis

Page 17: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

Chloroplasts: The Sites of Photosynthesis in Plants Leaves are the major locations of photosynthesis

Chloroplasts are found mainly in cells of the mesophyll, the interior tissue of the leaf

Each mesophyll cell contains 30–40 chloroplasts

CO2 enters and O2 exits the leaf through microscopic pores called stomata

Page 18: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

A chloroplast has an envelope of two membranes surrounding a dense fluid called the stroma

Thylakoids are connected sacs in the chloroplast which compose a third membrane system

Thylakoids may be stacked in columns called grana

Chlorophyll, the pigment which gives leaves their green colour, resides in the thylakoid membranes

Tracking Atoms Through Photosynthesis: Scientific Inquiry Photosynthesis is a complex series of reactions

that can be summarized as the following equation:

6 CO2 12 H2O Light energy → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O

The overall chemical change during photosynthesis is the reverse of the one that occurs during cellular respiration

Page 25: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Splitting of Water

Chloroplasts split H2O into hydrogen and oxygen, incorporating the electrons of hydrogen into sugar molecules and releasing oxygen as a by-product

Photosynthesis as a Redox Process

Photosynthesis reverses the direction of electron flow compared to respiration

Photosynthesis is a redox process in which H2O is oxidized and CO2 is reduced

Photosynthesis is an endergonic process; the energy boost is provided by light

The Two Stages of Photosynthesis: A Preview

Photosynthesis consists of the light reactions(the photo part) and Calvin cycle (the synthesispart)

The light reactions (in the thylakoids)

Split H2O

Release O2

Reduce the electron acceptor NADP to NADPH

Generate ATP from ADP by photophosphorylation

Page 30: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Calvin cycle (in the stroma) forms sugar from CO2, using ATP and NADPH

The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, incorporating CO2 into organic molecules

Concept 11.2: The light reactions convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH Chloroplasts are solar-powered chemical factories

Their thylakoids transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH

The Nature of Sunlight

Light is a form of electromagnetic energy, also called electromagnetic radiation

Like other electromagnetic energy, light travels in rhythmic waves

Wavelength is the distance between crestsof waves

Wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic energy

Page 39: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of electromagnetic energy, or radiation

Visible light consists of wavelengths (including those that drive photosynthesis) that produce colors we can see

Light also behaves as though it consists of discrete particles, called photons

Photosynthetic Pigments: The Light Receptors

Pigments are substances that absorb visible light

Different pigments absorb different wavelengths

Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected or transmitted

Leaves appear green because chlorophyll reflects and transmits green light

A spectrophotometer measures a pigment’s ability to absorb various wavelengths

This machine sends light through pigments and measures the fraction of light transmitted at each wavelength

An absorption spectrum is a graph plotting a pigment’s light absorption versus wavelength

The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll asuggests that violet-blue and red light work best for photosynthesis

An action spectrum profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a process

The action spectrum of photosynthesis was first demonstrated in 1883 by Theodor W. Engelmann

In his experiment, he exposed different segments of a filamentous alga to different wavelengths

Areas receiving wavelengths favorable to photosynthesis produced excess O2

He used the growth of aerobic bacteria clustered along the alga as a measure of O2 production

Page 52: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment

Accessory pigments, such as chlorophyll b, broaden the spectrum used for photosynthesis

The difference in the absorption spectrum between chlorophyll a and b is due to a slight structural difference between the pigment molecules

Accessory pigments called carotenoids absorb excessive light that would damage chlorophyll

Excitation of Chlorophyll by Light

When a pigment absorbs light, it goes from a ground state to an excited state, which is unstable

When excited electrons fall back to the ground state, photons are given off, an afterglow called fluorescence

If illuminated, an isolated solution of chlorophyll will fluoresce, giving off light and heat

A Photosystem: A Reaction-Center Complex Associated with Light-Harvesting Complexes A photosystem consists of a reaction-center

complex (a type of protein complex) surrounded by light-harvesting complexes

The light-harvesting complexes (pigment molecules bound to proteins) transfer the energy of photons to the reaction center

A primary electron acceptor in the reaction center accepts excited electrons and is reduced as a result

Solar-powered transfer of an electron from a chlorophyll a molecule to the primary electron acceptor is the first step of the light reactions

Page 64: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

There are two types of photosystems in the thylakoid membrane

Photosystem II (PS II) functions first (the numbers reflect order of discovery) and is best at absorbing a wavelength of 680 nm

The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS II is called P680

Page 65: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Photosystem I (PS I) is best at absorbing a wavelength of 700 nm

The reaction-center chlorophyll a of PS I is called P700

Page 66: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

Linear Electron Flow

During the light reactions, there are two possible routes for electron flow: cyclic and linear

Linear electron flow, the primary pathway, involves both photosystems and produces ATP and NADPH using light energy

Page 67: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

There are 8 steps in linear electron flow:

1. A photon hits a pigment and its energy is passed among pigment molecules until it excites P680

2. An excited electron from P680 is transferred to the primary electron acceptor (we now call it P680)

3. H2O is split by enzymes, and the electrons are transferred from the hydrogen atoms to P680, thus reducing it to P680

P680 is the strongest known biological oxidizing agent

O2 is released as a by-product of this reaction

Page 75: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

4. Each electron “falls” down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS II to PS I

5. Energy released by the fall drives the creation of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane

Diffusion of H (protons) across the membrane drives ATP synthesis

Page 76: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

6. In PS I (like PS II), transferred light energy excites P700, which loses an electron to an electron acceptor

P700 (P700 that is missing an electron) accepts an electron passed down from PS II via the electron transport chain

Page 77: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

7. Each electron “falls” down an electron transport chain from the primary electron acceptor of PS I to the protein ferredoxin (Fd)

8. The electrons are then transferred to NADP and reduce it to NADPH

The electrons of NADPH are available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle

This process also removes an H from the stroma

The energy changes of electrons during linear flow through the light reactions can be shown in a mechanical analogy

Cyclic Electron Flow

In cyclic electron flow, electrons cycle back from Fd to the PS I reaction center

Cyclic electron flow uses only photosystem I and produces ATP, but not NADPH

No oxygen is released

Some organisms such as purple sulfur bacteria have PS I but not PS II

Cyclic electron flow is thought to have evolved before linear electron flow

Cyclic electron flow may protect cells from light-induced damage

A Comparison of Chemiosmosis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Chloroplasts and mitochondria generate ATP by

chemiosmosis, but use different sources of energy

Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP

Spatial organization of chemiosmosis differs between chloroplasts and mitochondria but also shows similarities

Page 84: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

In mitochondria, protons are pumped to the intermembrane space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the mitochondrial matrix

In chloroplasts, protons are pumped into the thylakoid space and drive ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the stroma

ATP and NADPH are produced on the side facing the stroma, where the Calvin cycle takes place

In summary, light reactions generate ATP and increase the potential energy of electrons by moving them from H2O to NADPH

Concept 11.3: The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to reduce CO2 to sugar The Calvin cycle, like the citric acid cycle,

regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle

The cycle builds sugar from smaller molecules by using ATP and the reducing power of electrons carried by NADPH

Page 91: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Carbon enters the cycle as CO2 and leaves as a sugar named glyceraldehyde 3-phospate (G3P)

For net synthesis of 1 G3P, the cycle must take place three times, fixing 3 molecules of CO2

The Calvin cycle has three phases1. Carbon fixation (catalyzed by rubisco)2. Reduction3. Regeneration of the CO2 acceptor (RuBP)

Concept 11.4: Alternative mechanisms of carbon fixation have evolved in hot, arid climates Dehydration is a problem for plants, sometimes

requiring trade-offs with other metabolic processes, especially photosynthesis

On hot, dry days, plants close stomata, which conserves H2O but also limits photosynthesis

The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up

These conditions favor an apparently wasteful process called photorespiration

Page 97: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Photorespiration: An Evolutionary Relic?

In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound(3-phosphoglycerate)

In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle, producing a two-carbon compound

Photorespiration consumes O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar

Page 98: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Photorespiration may be an evolutionary relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2

Photorespiration limits damaging products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle

In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle

Page 99: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

C4 Plants

C4 plants minimize the cost of photorespiration by incorporating CO2 into four-carbon compounds

There are two distinct types of cells in the leaves of C4 plants:

Bundle-sheath cells are arranged in tightly packed sheaths around the veins of the leaf

Mesophyll cells are loosely packed between the bundle sheath and the leaf surface

Page 100: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sugar production in C4 plants occurs in a three-step process:

1. The production of the four carbon precursors is catalyzed by the enzyme PEP carboxylase in the mesophyll cells

PEP carboxylase has a higher affinity for CO2than rubisco does; it can fix CO2 even when CO2concentrations are low

Page 101: Reece • Urry • Cain • Wasserman • Minorsky • Jackson 11

© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

2. These four-carbon compounds are exported to bundle-sheath cells

3. Within the bundle-sheath cells, they release CO2that is then used in the Calvin cycle

Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, CO2 levels have risen greatly

Increasing levels of CO2 may affect C3 and C4plants differently, perhaps changing the relative abundance of these species

The effects of such changes are unpredictable and a cause for concern

CAM Plants

Some plants, including succulents, use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) tofix carbon

CAM plants open their stomata at night, incorporating CO2 into organic acids

Stomata close during the day, and CO2 is released from organic acids and used in the Calvin cycle

The Importance of Photosynthesis: A Review

The energy entering chloroplasts as sunlight gets stored as chemical energy in organic compounds

Sugar made in the chloroplasts supplies chemical energy and carbon skeletons to synthesize the organic molecules of cells

Plants store excess sugar as starch in structures such as roots, tubers, seeds, and fruits

In addition to food production, photosynthesis produces the O2 in our atmosphere
