Photosynthesis, Part 1
![Page 3: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What Is Photosynthesis?• The conversion of
light energy to chemical energy
• Light energy = photons from the sun
• Chemical energy = glucose
![Page 4: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What do we start and end with?
EQUATION: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light C6H12O6 + 6O2
• The molecules on the left side are the reactants.
• This is what the plant already has and will use
• The plant uses carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to make…
• The products. These are the molecules on the right side.
• The products are glucose (a simple carbohydrate) and oxygen.

The Pathway
![Page 7: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why are plants green?
• Pigments are compounds that absorb and reflect specific kinds of light energy
• The pigment most important for photosynthesis is chlorophyll
• Chlorophyll reflects green and absorbs other colors (wavelengths)
• The wavelengths absorbed from the sun provide the energy for photosynthesis
![Page 8: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
LET’S EXPLORE PIGMENTS!• Set up your lab• You will need:– Filter Paper– Beaker– Penny– Leaf– Tape– Pencil
• Observe the demo from the teacher for instructions
• When you are finished, answer the following questions in your lab notebook:
• 1. What are the products of photosynthesis?
• 2. Where does photosynthesis occur?
• 3. You see a student wearing a red shirt. What wavelengths (colors) is the shirt reflecting? Absorbing?

DNA: Write the equation for photosynthesis. Under the
equation, list the names of the chemicals that are shown in the
equation.
(ex: CO2 is Carbon Dioxide)

Photosynthesis, Part 2
![Page 11: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The PathwayThe Light Reactions
• Requires sunlight• Takes light energy and
generates energy that can be used by the cell to synthesize food (glucose)
• Oxygen is a waste product of the light reactions
The Dark Reactions
• Does not require sunlight• Uses the energy from the
light reactions + carbon dioxide to make sugar
• The sugar can then be used by the plant for food

Who Cares?
• How does photosynthesis affect us?
![Page 13: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EQUATION: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light C6H12O6 + 6O2
• What are the products?• What do people breathe in?• What do people eat?• What do people breathe out?• Plants and animals are in symbiosis

Photosynthesis, Part 3
![Page 17: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Light Reactions
![Page 18: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Light Reactions - Structure
• Occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
• In the membrane of the thylakoid, there are two very important proteins: Photosystem I and II
• This is where the light reactions will occur
![Page 19: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Light Reactions
![Page 20: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Light Reactions – Process• 1. Light hits a protein called
Photosystem II. The energy from the light “excites” an electron, which passes through a series of proteins to…
• 2. Photosystem I. Light hits this system, exciting the electron again.
• 3. The electron is finally added to make a substance called NADPH.
![Page 21: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Light Reactions – Process, Cont.• Two very important things
happen while the light reactions are going on:– Water is split: The oxygen is
released as a waste product, the electron replaces the one lost in PSII, and the hydrogen is pumped into the thylakoid against the concentration gradient (active transport)
– As the hydrogen flows back out, it produces energy via chemiosmosis

Time to finish your lab!• Answer the following questions in your lab
notebook as your exit ticket. Your notebook must be checked by the teacher BEFORE YOU LEAVE!– What color is the most abundant (is there a lot of)?– What other colors do you see?– What are these colors called?– How do these colors assist in photosynthesis?– What property of water allowed the rubbing alcohol
to travel up the paper strip?

Photosynthesis, Part 4
![Page 26: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Dark Reactions
![Page 27: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
…a.k.a. The Calvin Cycle
![Page 28: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Calvin Cycle
• Occurs in the stroma (fluid surrounding the thylakoids)
![Page 29: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Steps• Part 1: Carbon Fixation– Carbon Dioxide and a five
carbon compound called RuBP combine to form 12 three carbon compounds called 3-PGA.
• Part 2: Reduction– 3-PGA is turned into a new
three carbon compound called G3P. This requires the energy made during the light reactions (ATP and NADPH)
![Page 30: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Steps• The G3P created will
become glucose, which can be used by the entire plant for food and energy
• Part 3: Regeneration– More energy is used to
make more RuBP to start the cycle over again
• This is a cycle. It will continue to turn again and again unless the plant does not have enough energy or carbon dioxide

![Page 32: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Alternate Pathways
• Some plants, such as cacti, have developed other ways to fix carbon
• These pathways are called C3, C4, and CAM
• These pathways are found in plants that live in extreme environments, and help prevent water loss and other dangers
![Page 33: DNA: What do all of these plants have in common?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e5f5503460f94b59389/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
