PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Autotrophic Process: Plants and plant-like organisms make their energy (glucose) from sunlight.
• Stored as carbohydrate in their bodies.
• 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2
![Page 3: Photosynthesis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/55836107d8b42a972b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why is Photosynthesis important?
Makes organic molecules (glucose) out of inorganic materials (carbon dioxide and water).
It begins all food chains/webs. Thus all life is supported by this process.
It also makes oxygen gas!!

Photosynthesis-starts to ecological food webs!

Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar.
Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing.
Autotrophs make glucose and heterotrophs are consumers of it.

How do we know that plants make carbohydrates from just carbon dioxide water and light energy?• For example:
Jan Baptisa van Helmont (1648) planted a willow branch weighing 5 pounds into 200
pounds of soil and then after 4 years the tree weighed 169 lbs. and the soil was still
nearly 200 lbs.
Experiments!Experiments!

As can be seen from the equation for photosynthesis, the wood, bark, and root came from water and carbon dioxide.

happens.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Absorbing Light Energy to make chemical energy: glucose!• Pigments: Absorb different colors of white light
(ROY G BIV)• Main pigment: Chlorophyll a
• Accessory pigments: Chlorophyll b and Carotenoids
• These pigments absorb all wavelengths (light) BUT green!

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Why do we see green? • Green color from white light
reflected NOT absorbed• Chloroplast: organelle
responsible for photosynthesis• Chlorophyll: located within
Chloroplast• Green pigment

Visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum (all forms of light).
![Page 19: Photosynthesis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/55836107d8b42a972b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• LIGHT behaves as if it were composed of "units" or "packets" of energy that travel in waves. These packets are photons.
• The wavelength of light determines its color.

Photosynthesis
Glucose provides the energy and carbon needed to make other plant materials like wax and proteins.

• In plants and simple animals, waste products are removed by diffusion. Plants, for example, excrete O2, a product of
photosynthesis.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS• 2 Phases
• Light-dependent reaction• Light-independent reaction
• Light-dependent: converts light energy into chemical energy; produces ATP molecules to be used to fuel light-independent reaction
• Light-independent: uses ATP produced to make simple sugars.
![Page 29: Photosynthesis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062419/55836107d8b42a972b8b4569/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Light-dependent reaction (LIGHT Reaction)• Requires light• Occurs in chloroplast (in thylakoids)• Chlorophyll (thylakoid) traps energy from light• Light excites electron (e-)
• Kicks e- out of chlorophyll to an electron transport chain
• Electron transport chain: series of proteins in thylakoid membrane
• Bucket brigade

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Light-dependent reaction (LIGHT Reaction)• Energy lost along electron transport chain• Lost energy used to recharge ATP from ADP
• NADPH produced from e- transport chain• Stores energy until transfer to stroma
• Plays important role in light-independent reaction
• Total byproducts: ATP, NADP, O2

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• How did we get O2 as a byproduct?!
• Photolysis: replaces lost electrons by splitting water

photosynthesis increases

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• What affects photosynthesis?• Temperature:
• Temperature Low = Rate of photosynthesis low
