5.1 Impacts/IssuesGreen Energy
We and most other organisms sustain ourselves by extracting energy stored in the organic products of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis• Metabolic pathway by which photoautotrophs
capture light energy and use it to make sugars from CO2 and water

5.2 Capturing Rainbows
Energy radiating from the sun travels through space in waves and is organized in packets called photons
The spectrum of radiant energy from the sun includes visible light
![Page 8: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Capturing Rainbows
Humans perceive different wavelengths of visible light as different colors
The shorter the wavelength, the greater the energy
Wavelength• Distance between the crests of two successive
waves of light
![Page 9: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Capturing Rainbows
Photosynthetic species use pigments to harvest light energy for photosynthesis
Pigment• An organic molecule that can absorb light at
specific wavelengths
Chlorophyll a• Main photosynthetic pigment in plants

5.3 Storing Energy in Carbohydrates
Photosynthesis converts the energy of light into the energy of chemical bonds, which can power reactions of life and be stored for later use
Photosynthesis takes place in two stages• Light-dependent reactions• Light-independent reactions
![Page 13: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The First Stage of Photosynthesis
Light-dependent reactions (“photo”)• Convert light energy to chemical energy of ATP
and NADPH, releasing oxygen• Occur at the thylakoid membrane in plant
chloroplasts
Photosystem• Cluster of pigments and proteins that converts
light energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis
![Page 14: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chloroplasts and the Thylakoid Membrane
Chloroplast• Organelle of photosynthesis in plants and some
protists
Thylakoid membrane• Chloroplast’s highly folded inner membrane system• Forms a continuous compartment in the stroma
![Page 15: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Second Stage of Photosynthesis
Light-independent reactions (“synthesis”)• ATP and NADPH drive synthesis of glucose and
other carbohydrates from water and CO2
• Occurs in the stroma
Stroma• Semifluid matrix between the thylakoid
membrane and the two outer membranes of a chloroplast
![Page 16: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

5.4 The Light-Dependent Reactions
Chlorophylls and other pigments in the thylakoid membrane absorb light energy and pass it to photosystems, which then release electrons
Energized electrons leave photosystems and enter electron transfer chains in the membrane; hydrogen ion gradients drive ATP formation
Oxygen is released; electrons end up in NADPH
![Page 22: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Light-Dependent Reactions
![Page 23: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Steps in Light-Dependent Reactions
1. Light energy ejects electrons from a photosystem
2. Photosystem pulls replacement electrons from water, releasing O2
3. Electrons enter an electron transfer chain (ETC) in the thylakoid membrane
4. Electron energy is used to form a hydrogen-ion gradient across the thylakoid membrane
![Page 24: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Steps in Light-Dependent Reactions
5. Another photosystem receives electrons from the ETC
6. Electrons move through a second ETC; NADPH is formed
7. Hydrogen ions flow across the thylakoid membrane through ATP synthase and power ATP formation in the stroma
![Page 25: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Electron Transfer Phosphorylation
Electron transfer phosphorylation• Metabolic pathway in which electron flow through
electron transfer chains sets up a hydrogen ion gradient that drives ATP formation
![Page 26: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

5.5 The Light-Independent Reactions
Driven by the energy of ATP and electrons from NADPH, light-independent reactions use carbon and oxygen from CO2 to build sugars
![Page 28: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Carbon Fixation
In the stroma of chloroplasts, the enzyme rubisco fixes carbon from CO2 in the Calvin–Benson cycle
Carbon fixation• Process by which carbon from an inorganic
source such as CO2 becomes incorporated into an organic molecule
![Page 29: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Calvin-Benson Cycle
Calvin-Benson cycle• Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis• Cyclic pathway that forms glucose from CO2 • Uses energy from ATP and electrons from
NADPH
Rubisco• Enzyme that fixes carbon from CO2 to RuBP in
the Calvin-Benson cycle
![Page 30: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Carbon-Fixing Adaptations
Several adaptations, such as a waterproof cuticle, allow plants to live where water is scarce
Stomata• Gaps that open between guard cells on plant
surfaces; allow gas exchange through the cuticle
C3 plants• Use only the Calvin-Benson cycle to fix carbon• Conserve water by closing stomata on dry days
![Page 33: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Photorespiration
When stomata are closed, oxygen builds up and interferes with sugar production
Photorespiration• Reaction in which rubisco attaches O2 instead of
CO2 to RuBP

5.6 Photosynthesis and Aerobic Respiration: A Global Connection
Earth’s atmosphere was permanently altered by the evolution of photosynthesis
![Page 36: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Oxygen and the Atmosphere
Photoautotroph• Photosynthetic autotroph
Anaerobic• Occurring in the absence of oxygen
Aerobic• Involving or occurring in the presence of oxygen
![Page 37: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Extracting Energy From Carbohydrates
Eukaryotic cells typically convert chemical energy of carbohydrates to chemical energy of ATP by oxygen-requiring aerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration• Aerobic pathway that breaks down carbohydrates
to produce ATP• Pathway finishes in mitochondria
![Page 38: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

An Overview of Aerobic Respiration
Aerobic respiration is divided into three steps1. Glycolysis2. Acetyl CoA formation and the Krebs cycle3. Electron transfer phosphorylation
In the first two stages, coenzymes pick up electrons
In the third stage, electron energy drives ATP synthesis
![Page 40: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Aerobic Respiration Begins
Glycolysis• Reactions in which glucose or another sugar is
broken down into 2 pyruvates, netting 2 ATP
Pyruvate• Three-carbon product of glycolysis
![Page 41: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Aerobic Respiration Continues
Krebs cycle• Cyclic pathway that, along with acetyl CoA
formation, breaks down pyruvate to CO2, netting 2 ATP and many reduced coenzymes
![Page 42: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Fermentation• Anaerobic pathway that harvests energy from
carbohydrates • Alcoholic fermentation and lactate fermentation
In fermentation, ATP is formed by glycolysis only• Net yield of 2 ATP per glucose molecule• Coenzyme NAD+ is regenerated, which allows
glycolysis to continue• Fermentation pathways finish in the cytoplasm
![Page 54: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Energy from Carbohydrates
Glucose is absorbed from the intestines into the blood and broken down by glycolysis
Blood glucose levels are regulated by the pancreatic enzymes insulin and glucagon
Excess glucose intake stimulates storage as glycogen and fatty acids
![Page 59: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Energy from Fats
The body stores most fats as triglycerides
When blood glucose falls, enzymes break triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids• Glycerol enters glycolysis• Fatty acids enter the Krebs cycle as acetyl-CoA
Fatty acids yield more energy (ATP) than carbs
![Page 60: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Energy from Proteins
Proteins enter the bloodstream as amino acids
Amino acids can be used for energy by removing the amino group (as ammonia) and converting the carbon backbone to acetyl-CoA, pyruvate, or an intermediate of the Krebs cycle
![Page 61: Capturing and Releasing Energy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56816094550346895dcfbb85/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
