in terms of energy transformation.
Introduction:
Overview
6 CO2 + 6 H2O +
light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Photosynthesis consists of two
independent pathways
light-dependent reaction (light reaction)
the light-independent reaction (dark
reaction).

Which is the BEST explanation for how fluid
pressure from freshwater helps plants to stand
upright?
A) Freshwater is a hypertonic solution, which causes the
plant cells to swell with turgor pressure.
B) Freshwater is a hypotonic solution, which causes the
plant cells to swell because of plasmolysis.
C) Freshwater is a hypertonic solution, which causes the
plant cells to swell because of plasmolysis.
D) Freshwater is a hypotonic solution, which causes the
plant cells to swell because of turgor pressure.
Introduction
Light Reactions: the energy in sunlight
is trapped, O2 is released, and both
ATP and NADPH + H+ (hydrogencarrier molecule) are formed
Dark Reactions: the ATP and NADPH +
H+ react with CO2 from the atmosphere
and form glucose
The entire process results in the
transformation of light energy from the
sun into energy stored in the bonds of
the glucose molecule.

Why are
plants
green?
Pigments
Pigments are light-absorbing
compounds.
Pigments appear colored because they
absorb light of certain wavelengths and
reflect that of others.
Chlorophyll a is the primary pigment in
green plants that absorbs red and
blue/violet light and reflects green light.
Structure
of
Chlorophyll
Why aren’t these leaves green??
Accessory Pigments
Chloroplasts also contain other pigments
called accessory pigments.
Accessory pigments trap wavelengths of light
that cannot be absorbed by chlorophyll a and
then transfer the energy to chlorophyll a
molecules for use in photosynthesis. In this
way, accessory pigments enable plants to
use a greater amount of the sun’s energy
than is available to chlorophyll alone.
Light Reaction
Light Reaction
Also called Light Dependent Reaction
Pigments that are in the chloroplasts
intercept light and begin the light reactions of
photosynthesis.
The light reactions occur in two
photosystems (located in the thylakoid
membrane): -photosystem I (PSI)
-photosystem II (PSII)
Photosystem: a unit of several hundred
chlorophyll a molecules and associated
acceptor molecules

NADPH
NADP+ is an electron acceptor

1. A student is comparing hundreds of leaves of the
same tree species. The student will calculate each leaf
area using a formula. The formula requires the
measurements of length and width of each leaf. When
all the data are collected, the student will display
differences of leaves from the individual trees on a
graph. Which of these tools will the student use to
gather and display the data in this investigation?
A) microscope and digital balance
B) magnifying glass and hand calculator
C) metric ruler and spreadsheet program
D) Computer sensor and pie chart generator

Dark Reaction
Dark Reaction
The dark reaction is also
known as the Calvin Cycle,
after an American scientist
(Melvin Calvin) who figured
out the pathway.
The dark reaction is also
known as the C3 Cycle
because the first stable
products of this pathway are
molecules that contain three
carbon atoms.
The Calvin Cycle occurs in
the stroma.
Calvin Cycle
Reactants:
●
CO2 – from atmosphere
ATP & NADPH – from light cycle
Products:
●
Sugar & other monomers for
macromolecules such as amino
acids (proteins) and fatty acids
