Photosynthesis
• Process by which plants use light
energy to make food.
• A reduction process that makes
complex organic molecules from simple
molecules.

Ps General Equation
6 CO2 + 6 H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Requires:
Chlorophyll
Light

Early Question
• Does the Oxygen in sugar come from
the CO2 or from the H2O ?
• Model:
CO2 + 2 H2O ----> CH2O + O2
![Page 5: Chapter 10 Photosynthesis - Perry Localperrylocal.org/herstinm/files/2011/03/Chapter10.pdf · Chapter 10 Photosynthesis . Photosynthesis • Process by which plants use light energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5f87d199fd290b79b255bda1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Proof
• Used 18O as a tracer.
CO2 + 2 H2O ----> CH2O + O2
CO2 + 2 H2O ----> CH2O + O2
Both experiments confirm that water is
split.
• O2 is a waste product of Ps that altered
life on earth.

Ps: a redox process
• Hydrogens are added to Carbons.
• Water is a source for the Hydrogens.
• Complex covalent bonds are made.

Ps
• Has two chemical reactions:
1. Light Reaction
2. Dark Reaction
Names are from “light” as a requirement,
not where or when they occur.

Comment
• In oceans, red light is lost or filtered out
early because it has lower energy.
• Only blue light which has higher energy
can reach the lower depths.

Result
• Many deep ocean fish are bright red in
color.
• Why?
• They can’t be seen because there is no
red light to reflect their color.

• The chloroplast produces ATP in the
same manner as the mitochondria in Rs.
• Light energy is used to pump H+ across a
membrane.
• When the H+ diffuses back, ATP is
generated.

C4 Ps
• Uses a different enzyme to initially
capture CO2
• Separates CO2 capture from carbon
fixation into sugar.
• Still uses C3 Ps to make sugar, but only
does so in the bundle sheath cells.

PEP Carboxylase
• Enzyme used for CO2 capture in C4 Ps.
• Can use CO2 down to 0 ppm.
• Prevents photorespiration.

C4 Ps
• Found in 19 plant families.
• Characteristic of hot regions with
intense sunlight.
• Examples - sugarcane, Bermuda grass,
crab grass

CAM Ps
• Crassulacean Acid Metabolism
• Found in plants from arid conditions
where water stress is a problem.
• Examples - cacti, succulents,
pineapples, many orchids.

CAM Ps
• Open stomata at night to take in CO2.
• The CO2 is stored as a C4 acid.
• During the day, the acid is broken down
and CO2 is fixed into sugar.

CAM plants
• Tissues decrease in pH over night, rise
in pH during day.
• Avoid H2O stress by keeping stomates
closed during the day.
• Generally have slow growth.

Ps:Rs Ratios
• Reflect a plant’s balance in making food and using food.
1. Ps > Rs, energy available for growth and reproduction.
2. Ps = Rs, no growth, but don’t die either.
3. Ps < Rs, death by starvation
![Page 72: Chapter 10 Photosynthesis - Perry Localperrylocal.org/herstinm/files/2011/03/Chapter10.pdf · Chapter 10 Photosynthesis . Photosynthesis • Process by which plants use light energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5f87d199fd290b79b255bda1/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Comments - Ps:Rs
• Rs happens 24 hours a day.
• Ps only in light.
• Plants overwinter on stored food made
when Ps > Rs.
• If Ps < Rs, best solution is to increase
the amount of light.

Factors That Affect Ps
1. Light - quantity and quality.
2. Temperature - too hot or too cold.
3. CO2 - often limits C3 plants.
4. Minerals - especially NPK and Mg.

Importances of Ps
1. Food - either directly or indirectly
comes from plants.
2. Oxygen in the air.
3. CO2 balance.
4. Plant products.
5. Life on Earth.
