CHAPTER 10 PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Chemoautotrophs-oxidize inorganic chemicals in their environment to produce energy for metabolism
brown algae
euglena
cyanophyta—blue-green algae
Van Niel determined that purple sulfur bacteria get their H’s from H2S which lead to the hypothesis that green plants took their H’s from H2O
A photon’s energy is inversely proportional to its wavelength
Why aren’t these longer wavelengths used?
What is the problem with these shorter wavelengths?

PEP carboxylaseis in high conc. in the mesophyll cells
There is no RuBP carboxylasein the mesophyll cells but the light reactions and the fixation of CO2 occur there.
Bundle-sheath cells have chloroplasts that contain few thylakoids and no photosystems and thus do not carry on the light reactions and never produce O2
Since rubisco is sequestered here it can never oxidize rather than carboxylate RuBP.
PEP has a much higher affinity for CO2 than rubisco and no affinity for O2. Thus CO2 concentrations are lower.

PEP carboxylase’s higher affinity for CO2 results in lower concentrations of CO2 in the mesophyll and thus when the stomata open, there is a faster exchange.
These compounds are all acids.
