Chapter 8 Photosynthesis
Section 8­1 Energy and Life
Key Concepts
Where do plants get the energy they need to produce food?
What is the role of ATP in cellular activities?
Why don't bushes or other trees usually grow underneath large trees?
Living things need energy to survive.
Energy the ability to do work
If living things did not have the ability to obtain and use energy, life would not exist.
Where does the energy that living things need come from?
food
Autotrophs
auto ­ self
trophe ­ food
also called a self feeder
plants and some unicellullar organisms ­ autotrophs
autotrophs make their own food through a process called
photosynthesis
Heterotrophs
hetero ­ other
trophe ­ food
also called other feeder
heterotrophs get there energy from the food they eat
To live all organisms must release energy in sugars and other compounds.
Energy comes in different forms ­ light, heat, and electricity
Energy can be stored in chemical compounds.
Cells use a chemical compound to store and release energy is
ATP = adenosine triphosphate
contains ­ adenine, 5­carbon sugar (ribose), 3­phosphate groups
3­phosphate groups ­ store and release energy
lines between groups represent bonds
Energy needed by an athlete comes from ATP
Storing energy
Adenosine diphosphate ­ ADP
just like ATP but short of a phosphate group
living things store energy by adding a phosphate group as
energy is available changing ADP to ATP
When energy is needed, the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken so energy can be released.
What do cells do with this energy?
Cells Use Energy
carry out functions to survive
synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids
Releasing Energy
breaks the chemical bonds between 2 and 3 phosphate group
ATP basic energy source for all cells
Most cells have only a small amount of ATP that will last for only a few seconds of activity.
ATP is not good at storing large amounts of energy. However, they are very efficient at regenerating ATP from ADP as the cell needs it.
It uses the energy in glucose to create the ATP.

8­2 Photosynthesis: An Overview
Key Concepts
What did the experiments of van Helmont, Priestly, and Ingenhousz review about how plants grow?
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
What is the role of light and chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis
plants use the energy of sunlight to change H2O and CO2 to make sugars, starches, and O2.
Discovery of Photosynthesis
Jan van Helmont
began study of photosynthesis in 1600's
experimented with mass of plants ­where did plants get their
mass from as they grew
determined plants get mass from the H2O ­ however at that time, he did not know that CO2 was part of the equation
Joseph Priestly about 100 years later discovered that plants release O2 Jan Ingenhousz
proved light was necessary for the production of O2 by the plant
These 3 scientists contributed to beginning discoveries of what led to the discovery of photosynthesis. Other scientists used their work to make this discovery.
Equation
light
6CO2 + 6H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2
Photosythesis takes in carbon dioxide and water to make
sugar and oxygen.
Where do plants get each material needed for photosynthesis?
CO2 ­ from the air that mammals breath out
enters through the stomata ­ tiny openings in the leaf
Water ­ from the ground through the roots also minerals, brought through the xylem ­tissue that dies after one year, then new tissue develops
Sunlight ­ absorbed by pigments ­ light absorbing molecules visible light
UV light ­ plants have pigments to protect themselves
IR ­ does not contain enough energy for photosyn.
Chlorophyll ­ pigment in the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast
Where do the products of photosynthesis go?
O2 ­ leaves plant cells through the stomata and goes into the
atmosphere
Glucose ­ remain inside of cell and used to make sugars, starches, and cellulose (humans can not break down
cellulose but needed for fiber)
Phloem ­ transports sugars down from the leaves to the cells, always alive
Light and Pigment
along with water and carbon dioxide, plants need light and
chlorophyll
plants gather light through pigments ­ chlorophyll
Two types of chlorophyll
Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b ­ these absorb light
in different regions of the color spectrum
when wave lengths are in the middle region of the sprectrum it is more difficult to absorb light
plants reflect green light ­ causes plants to look green
In the fall, the pigments in leaves become visible since chlorophyll, the primary plant pigment, is not being made, so...it does not mask them.
Review ­ light is a form of energy, so any compound that absorbs light also absorbs energy from light. When chlorophyll absorbs light, much of the energy is transferred directly to the electrons in the chlorophyll molecule, raising the energy levels of these electrons, which makes photosynthesis work.

8­3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis
Key Concepts
What happens in the light­dependent reactions?
What is the Calvin cycle?
Chloroplast
photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplast ­ in plants are leaves and in bacteria they are in the membrane
Thylakoids
inside chloroplasts
sac like structure
proteins in the thylakoids ­ organize chlorophyll into clusters
called photosystems (light­collecting units)
stacks of thylakoids ­ granna single stack ­ granum
Stroma
space outside the thylakoids
Electron Carrier
when light is absorbed by the chlorophyll, the electrons gain energy
cells need a way to transport these high­energy electrons cells use an electron carriers ­ electron transport chain ­ molecules to transport high­energy electrons from chlorophyll to another molecule ­ electron transport
NADP+ ­ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
electron carrier ­ transports electrons to parts of the cell
accepts and hold 2 h­e electrons and a hydrogen ion (H+)
which then converts NADP+ into NADPH ­ this traps some energy from the sun in a chemical form
NADP+ + 2e­ + H+ NADPH
h­e electrons are used to build a variety of molecules the cell
needs
The Process of photosynthesis occurs in two stages that work together:
Light­Dependent Reactions ­ Photosystem II and I
The first Photosystem is Photosystem II. It occurs before Photosystem I in the process, but was discovered after Photosystem I. takes place in the thylakoid membranes
Light­Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle) takes place in the stroma
Photosystem
light­collecting units in a chloroplast
Divided into two parts:
Light­Dependent Reactions ­ Figure 8­10 page 211
In the presence of light, the light­dependent reactions produce O2 gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into the
energy carriers ATP and NADPH.
Steps:
1. Begins when pigment in Photosystem II absorb light.
2. Light energy is absorbed by electrons, increasing
energy.
3. These electrons come from water molecules.
4. Enzymes in the thylakoid membranes break apart the water molecule = 2 H+ ions and 1 oxygen atom.
5. The oxygen is released in the air.
6. The hydrogen ions are released into the thylakoid
membrane.
7. H­e electrons move through the electron transport
chain from Photosystem II to Photosystem I.
8. Energy from the electrons is used by the electron transport chain to transport H+ ions from the stroma
to the thylakoid space.
9. Pigments in Photosystem I use energy from light to
reenergize the electrons.
10. NADP+ picks up the h­e electrons and H+ ions which
becomes NADPH.
11. As electrons are passed to NADP+, H+ ions are
pumped across the membranes which causes a + charge on the inside and a ­ charge on the membrane. This difference in charges provides the energy to make ATP.
12. H+ ions can not pass through the membrane on their
own. ATP synthase ­ a protein to help H+ ions across
by allowing them to pass through it. The protein rotates to bind ADP and a phosphate group together.
13. This produces ATP for energy needed to create
sugars.

Light­independent Reaction (Calvin Cycle)
The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from light­
dependent reactions to produce high­energy sugar
that can be stored for a long time. The Calvin cycle
does not require light, so called light­independent rxns.
Steps:
1. 6 Carbon Dioxide molecules enter the cycle from
the atmosphere.
2. 6 Carbon Dioxide molecules bond with six 5­Carbon
molecules = 12 3­Carbon molecules.
3. Energy from ATP and NADPH are used to convert the
12 3­Carbon molecules into h­e forms.
4. Two of the 12 3­Carbon molecules are removed from
the cycle. They are then used to produce sugar,
lipids, amino acids, and other compounds for plant
metabolism and growth.
5. The remaining 10 3­Carbon molecules are converted
back into six 5­Carbon molecules. These combine
with 6 new carbon dioxides to begin the next cycle.
