Notas do Editor

  1. So, in effect, photosynthesis is respiration run backwards powered by light. Cellular Respiration oxidize C 6 H 12 O 6  CO 2 & produce H 2 O fall of electrons downhill to O 2 exergonic Photosynthesis reduce CO 2  C 6 H 12 O 6 & produce O 2 boost electrons uphill by splitting H 2 O endergonic
  2. A typical mesophyll cell has 30-40 chloroplasts, each about 2-4 microns by 4-7 microns long. Each chloroplast has two membranes around a central aqueous space, the stroma. In the stroma are membranous sacs, the thylakoids. These have an internal aqueous space, the thylakoid lumen or thylakoid space. Thylakoids may be stacked into columns called grana.
  3. Not accidental that these 2 systems are similar, because both derived from the same primitive ancestor.
  4. NADH is an input ATP is an output O 2 combines with H + ’s to form water Electron is being handed off from one electron carrier to another -- proteins, cytochrome proteins & quinone lipids So what if it runs in reverse??
  5. Two places where light comes in. Remember photosynthesis is endergonic -- the electron transport chain is driven by light energy. Need to look at that in more detail on next slide
  6. Photons are absorbed by clusters of pigment molecules ( antenna molecules) in the thylakoid membrane. When any antenna molecule absorbs a photon, it is transmitted from molecule to molecule until it reaches a particular chlorophyll a molecule = the reaction center . At the reaction center is a primary electron acceptor which removes an excited electron from the reaction center chlorophyll a. This starts the light reactions. Don’t compete with each other, work synergistically using different wavelengths.
  7. Two places where light comes in. Remember photosynthesis is endergonic -- the electron transport chain is driven by light energy. Need to look at that in more detail on next slide
  8. PS II absorbs light Excited electron passes from chlorophyll to the primary electron acceptor Need to replace electron in chlorophyll An enzyme extracts electrons from H 2 O & supplies them to the chlorophyll This reaction splits H 2 O into 2 H + & O - which combines with another O - to form O 2 O 2 released to atmosphere Chlorophyll absorbs light energy (photon) and this moves an electron to a higher energy state Electron is handed off down chain from electron acceptor to electron acceptor In process has collected H + ions from H 2 O & also pumped by Plastoquinone within thylakoid sac. Flow back through ATP synthase to generate ATP.
  9. Need a 2nd photon -- shot of light energy to excite electron back up to high energy state. 2nd ETC drives reduction of NADP to NADPH. Light comes in at 2 points. Produce ATP & NADPH

  12. 1 photosystem is not enough. Have to lift electron in 2 stages to a higher energy level. Does work as it falls. First, produce ATP -- but producing ATP is not enough. Second, need to produce organic molecules for other uses & also need to produce a stable storage molecule for a rainy day (sugars). This is done in Calvin Cycle!
  13. Where did the energy come from? The Sun Where did the electrons come from? Chlorophyll Where did the H 2 O come from? The ground through the roots/xylem Where did the O 2 come from? The splitting of water Where did the O 2 go? Out stomates to air Where did the H + come from? The slitting of water Where did the ATP come from? Photosystem 2: Chemiosmosis (H+ gradient) What will the ATP be used for? The work of plant life! Building sugars Where did the NADPH come from? Reduction of NADP (Photosystem 1) What will the NADPH be used for? Calvin cycle / Carbon fixation
  14. CO 2 contains little energy because it is fully oxidized Reduce CO 2 in a series of steps to synthesize a stable energy storage molecule
  15. 1. A five-carbon sugar molecule called ribulose bisphosphate, or RuBP, is the acceptor that binds CO2 dissolved in the stroma. This process, called CO2 fixation, is catalyzed by the enzyme RuBP carboxylase, forming an unstable six-carbon molecule. This molecule quickly breaks down to give two molecules of the three-carbon 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG), also called phosphoglyceric acid (PGA). 2. The two 3PG molecules are converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P, a.k.a. phosphoglyceraldehyde, PGAL) molecules, a three-carbon sugar phosphate, by adding a high-energy phosphate group from ATP, then breaking the phosphate bond and adding hydrogen from NADH + H+. 3. Three turns of the cycle, using three molecules of CO2, produces six molecules of G3P. However, only one of the six molecules exits the cycle as an output, while the remaining five enter a complex process that regenerates more RuBP to continue the cycle. Two molecules of G3P, produced by a total of six turns of the cycle, combine to form one molecule of glucose.
  16. Gluconeogenesis == making new glucose
  17. Where did the CO 2 come from? air Where did the CO 2 go? carbohydrate (G3P) Where did the H 2 O come from? soil (xylem) Where did the H 2 O go? split to donate e- & H+ Where did the energy come from? sun What’s the energy used for? to make ATP in light reactions What will the C 6 H 12 O 6 be used for? the work of plant life Where did the O 2 come from? splitting of H 2 O Where will the O 2 go? air or respiration What else is involved…not listed in this equation? ATP, ADP, NADP, NADPH
  18. On sunny hot days, balancing 2 processes/ 2 forces: Lots of sun so guard cells producing glucose, therefore increasing sugar concentration, therefore increase osmosis into guard cells = turgid & open Lots of sun so plant starts to wilt, therefore guard cells shrink = flaccid & closed
  19. The key point is how carbon dioxide is grabbed out of the air -- carbon fixation -- and then handed off to the Calvin cycle. C4 plants separate the 2 steps of carbon fixation anatomically. They use 2 different cells to complete the process. CAM plants separate the 2 steps of carbon fixation temporally. They do them at 2 different times. The key problem they are trying to overcome is that Rubisco is a very inefficient enzyme in the presence of high O2. In high O2, Rubisco bonds oxygen to RuBP rather than carbon, so the plants have to keep O2 away from Rubsico. C4 & CAM should be seen as variations on *carbon fixation*, because plants had to evolve alternative systems given the limitations of their enzymes and their need to conserve water.
  20. PEP = phosphoenolpyruvate C4 plants solve the photorespiration problem by fixing carbon in outer ring of mesophyll cells using a different enzyme -- PEP carboxylase -- which has a higher affinity for CO2 than O2 (better than Rubisco), so it fixes CO2 in 4C "storage" compounds (oxaloacetate, malate). It then passes the carbon on by regenerating CO2 in the inner bundle sheath cells for Rubisco to use in the Calvin cycle.
  21. Crassulacean Acid Metabolism ( CAM ) Succulents are in the family Crassulaceae the name Crassula is derived from the Latin "crassus" meaning thick and refers to the leaves of these succulent plants CAM plants solve the photorespiration problem by fixing carbon at night (when stomates are open), and put it in "storage" compounds (organic acids like malic acid, isocitric acid) and then in the day (when stomates are closed), they release the CO2 from the "storage" compounds to the Calvin cycle (thereby increasing CO2 in the cells, improving Rubisco's efficiency)
  22. C3, C4, and CAM truly refer to the alternative method of carbon fixation -- grabbing carbon out of the air -- and not the Calvin Cycle itself. They *all* use the Calvin Cycle for sugar generation, but they differ in how they turn carbon from thin air into solid stuff. In C4, CO2 is fixed into 4-carbon "storage" compounds like oxaloacetate & malate (hence C4) In CAM, CO2 is fixed into organic acids like malic acid & isocitric acid (hence Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) In C3, while CO2 is initially fixed into a 6-carbon molecule, it is unstable & quickly breaks down to 3-carbon phosphoglycerate (PGA) (hence C3) C4 & CAM should be seen as variations on *carbon fixation*, because plants had to evolve alternative systems given the limitations of their enzymes and their need to conserve water.
