Enzymes and Energy Transfer
•
•
Enzymes regulate most metabolic activities.
 Anabolism - Storing Energy.
- Photosynthesis reactions
 Catabolism - Consuming Stored Energy.
- Respiration reactions
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
 Oxidation - Loss of electron(s).
 Reduction - Gain of electron(s)
- Usually coupled

Photosynthesis
•
Energy for most cellular activity involves
adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
 Plants make ATP using light as an energy
source.
- Take place in cholorpolasts and other
green parts of the organisms.
6CO2+12H2O + light  C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

Carbon Dioxide
•
Carbon dioxide reaches cholorplasts in the
mesophyll cells by diffusing through the
stomata into the leaf interior.
 Use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other
human activities have added excess carbon
dioxide to the atmosphere.
- May enhance photosynthesis.
 Plants may counter-balance by
developing fewer stomata.

Water
•
•
Less than 1% of all the water absorbed by
plants is used in photosynthesis.
 Most of the remainder is transpired or
incorporated into plant materials.
If water is in short supply, stomata usually
close and thus reduce the supply of carbon
dioxide available for photosynthesis.

Light
•
About 40% of the radiant energy received on
earth is in the form of visible light.
 Leaves commonly absorb about 80% of
the visible light reaching them.
- Light intensity varies with time of day,
season, altitude, latitude, and
atmospheric composition.
 Considerable variation in the light
intensities necessary for optimal
photosynthetic rates.

Chlorophyll
•
Several different types of chlorophyll.
 Most plants contain both chlorophyll a
(blue-green) and chlorophyll b (yellowgreen).
- Other pigments include carotenoids
(yellow and orange) phycobilins (blue or
red), and several other types of
chlorophyll.
- About 250-400 pigment molecules group
as a photosynthetic unit.

Major Steps of Photosynthesis
•
Light Dependent Reactions
 Water molecules split apart.
 Electrons passed along electron transport.
 ATP produced.
 NADPH produced.
Stern - Introductory Plant Biology: 9th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies
Major Steps of Photosynthesis
•
Light Independent Reactions
 Calvin Cycle
- Carbon dioxide combined with RuBP
and then combined molecules are
converted to sugars (Glucose).
 Energy furnished by ATP and NADPH
from Light-Dependent Reactions.

Light Dependent Reactions - In Depth
•
Each pigment has its own distinctive pattern
of light absorption.
Stern - Introductory Plant Biology: 9th Ed. - All Rights Reserved - McGraw Hill Companies
Light Dependent Reactions - In Depth
•
Two types of photosynthetic units present in
most chloroplasts make up photosystems.
 Photosystems I and II
- Both can produce ATP.
- Only organisms with both photosystem I
and photosystem II can produce NADPH
and oxygen as a consequence of
electron flow.

Light Independent Reactions - In Depth
•
Calvin Cycle
 Six molecules of CO2 combine with six
molecules of RuBP with the aid of rubisco.
 Resulting complexes split into twelve
3PGA molecules.
 NADPH and ATP supply energy and
electrons that reduce 3PGA to 12 GA3P.
 Ten of the twelve GA3P molecules are
restructured into six RuBP molecules.

Photorespiration
•
Stomata usually close on hot, dry days.
 Closed stomata prevent carbon dioxide
from entering the leaf.
- When carbon dioxide levels drop below
about 50 parts per million,
photorespiration is initiated.
 Rubisco fixes oxygen instead of
carbon dioxide.

Light Independent Reactions - In Depth

4-Carbon Pathway
 Plants have Kranz Anatomy.
- Large chloroplast with few to no grana in
the bundle sheath cells surrounding the
veins.
- Smaller chloroplasts with well-developed
grana in the mesophyll cells.

4-Carbon Pathway
•
Plants with Kranz Anatomy produce
oxaloacetic acid (4-carbon compound).
 Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and carbon
dioxide combined in mesophyll cells with
the aid of PEP carboxylase.
- Provides a major reduction in
photorespiration.

CAM Photosynthesis
•
Similar to C4 photosynthesis in that 4-carbon
compounds are produced during the lightindependent reactions.
 However, in CAM, the organic acids
accumulate at night and break down during
the day, releasing carbon dioxide.
- Allows plants to function well under
limited water supplies, as well as high
light intensity.

Respiration
•
Respiration is essentially the release of
energy from glucose molecules that are
broken down to individual carbon dioxide
molecules.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Respiration
•
Fermentation
C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + ATP
C6H12O6 2C3H6O3 + ATP

Glycolysis
 Glucose molecule becomes a fructose
molecule carrying two phosphates.
 Fructose molecule is split into two GA3P
molecules.
 Some hydrogen, energy, and water are
removed, leaving pyruvic acid.
