Photosynthesis
The process of converting sunlight energy into food energy.
ENERGY MOLECULES
• Energy molecules are how the energy from the sunlight is going to get converted into the energy stored in a carbohydrate molecule.
• ATP, NADPH, ADP & NADP+ are the primary energy molecules of photosynthesis.
• Energy molecules are cycled (recycled) in the chloroplast.
ATP and ADP
Adenosine triphosphate
&
Adenosine diphosphate
High energy bond
ATP & ADP are cycled in the cells
Breaks –P bond(releases energy)
Adds –P bond(stores energy)
ADP
ATP
NADPH & NADP+are cycled the same way!
Break the –H bond& release electrons
(release energy)
Add –H & Accept 2 electrons
(store energy)
NADPH
NADP+
The Cloroplast~relative of the first photosynthetic bacteria on our planet. Product of Endosymbiosis.
Pigments
Definition: A light absorbing molecule (visible spectrum)
- chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, carotonoids
Photosynthesis Reactions
Light Dependent Reactionsaka: Light Reaction
• Thylakoids • Photosystems
– (chlorophyll)
• Electron Transport Chain
• ATP synthase• Produces ATP,
NADPH & Oxygen gas
• Cyclic vs. Non-cyclic
Light-Independent Reactionaka: Calvin Cycle, Dark Reaction,
Calvin-Benson cycle• Stroma• RuBP – carbon fixation• Uses ATP & NADPH• Creates
carbohydrates, like glucose
• 6 CO2 needed to make C6H12O6
• 6 “turns” of the Calvin cycle to create C6H12O6
BIG PICTURE
Reactants
Products
The sunlight energy excites electrons that are captured in ATP bonds and in the electrons in NADPH. That energy is transferred to the Calvin cycle and is transferred to the chemical bonds in the carbohydrates. Reactants:
CO2 is used in ___________________
H2O is used in the _______________
Products:O2 is made in the _________________
Carbohydrates (C6H12O6)are made in the ____________________
