8Photosynthesis

Overview: 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

Figure 8.1

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

Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, certain other protists, and some prokaryotes

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

Concept 8.1: Photosynthesis converts light energy to the chemical energy of food

The structural organization of photosynthetic cells includes enzymes and other molecules grouped together in a membrane

This organization allows for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis to proceed efficiently

Chloroplasts are structurally similar to and likely evolved from photosynthetic bacteria

Chloroplasts: The Sites of Photosynthesis in Plants

Leaves are the major locations of photosynthesis

Their green color is from chlorophyll, the green pigment within chloroplasts

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

The chlorophyll is in the membranes of thylakoids (connected sacs in the chloroplast); thylakoids may be stacked in columns called grana

Chloroplasts also contain stroma, a dense interior fluid

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 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 synthesis part)

The light reactions (in the thylakoids)

Split H2O

Release O2

Reduce the electron acceptor, NADP+, to NADPH

Generate ATP from ADP by adding a phosphate group, photophosphorylation

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 8.2: 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 crests of waves

Wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic energy

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

The low transmittance (highabsorption) reading indicatesthat chlorophyll absorbs mostblue light.

The high transmittance (lowabsorption) reading indicatesthat chlorophyll absorbs verylittle green light.

Technique

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

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

Accessory pigments include chlorophyll b and a group of pigments called carotenoids

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

Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment

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

A slight structural difference between chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b causes them to absorb slightly different wavelengths

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

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

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

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

Linear Electron Flow

Linear electron flow involves the flow of electrons through both photosystems to produce ATP and NADPH using light energy

Linear electron flow can be broken down into a series of steps

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; O2 is released as a by-product

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

6. In PS I (like PS II), transferred light energy excites P700, causing it to lose an electron to an electron acceptor (we now call it P700+)

P700+ accepts an electron passed down from PS II via the electron transport chain

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

8. The electrons are transferred to NADP+, reducing it to NADPH, and become 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 can be represented in a mechanical analogy

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

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

Concept 8.3: 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

Unlike the citric acid cycle, the Calvin cycle is anabolic

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

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

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

The Calvin cycle has three phases

Carbon fixation

Reduction

Regeneration of the CO2 acceptor

Phase 1, carbon fixation, involves the incorporation of the CO2 molecules into ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) using the enzyme rubisco

Evolution of Alternative Mechanisms of Carbon Fixation in Hot, Arid Climates

Adaptation to dehydration is a problem for land 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

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 decreases photosynthetic output by consuming ATP, O2, and organic fuel and releasing CO2 without producing any ATP or sugar

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

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

An enzyme in the mesophyll cells has a high affinity for CO2 and can fix carbon even when CO2 concentrations are low

These four-carbon compounds are exported to bundle-sheath cells, where they release CO2 that is then used in the Calvin cycle

CAM Plants

Some plants, including succulents, use crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to fix 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 the chloroplasts and in structures such as roots, tubers, seeds, and fruits

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