Pigments in Photosynthesis
• Bacteria– Pigments in plasma membranes
• Plants– Pigments and proteins organized into
photosystems that are embedded in thylakoid membrane system

• Pigments absorb light energy, give up e-, which enter electron transfer chains
• Water molecules split, ATP and NADPH form, and oxygen is released
• Pigments that gave up electrons get replacements
Light-Dependent Reactions
![Page 39: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Photosystem Function: Harvester Pigments
• Most pigments in photosystem are harvester pigments
• When excited by light energy, these pigments transfer energy to adjacent pigment molecules
• Each transfer involves energy loss
![Page 40: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Photosystem Function: Reaction Center
• Energy is reduced to level that can be captured by molecule of chlorophyll a
• This molecule (P700 or P680) is the reaction center of a photosystem
• Reaction center accepts energy and donates electron to acceptor molecule
![Page 41: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Electron Transfer Chain
• Adjacent to photosystem • Acceptor molecule donates electrons from
reaction center
• As electrons pass along chain, energy they release is used to produce ATP
![Page 43: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Cyclic Electron Flow
• Electrons – are donated by P700 in photosystem I to
acceptor molecule
– flow through electron transfer chain and back to P700
• Electron flow drives ATP formation
• No NADPH is formed
![Page 44: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

• Two-step pathway for light absorption and
electron excitation
• Uses two photosystems: type I and
type II
• Produces ATP and NADPH
• Involves photolysis - splitting of water

Chemiosmotic Model of ATP Formation
• Electrical and H+ concentration gradients are created between thylakoid compartment and stroma
• H+ flows down gradients into stroma through ATP synthesis
• Flow of ions drives formation of ATP

Photorespiration in C3 Plants
• On hot, dry days stomata close
• Inside leaf – Oxygen levels rise– Carbon dioxide levels drop
• Rubisco attaches RuBP to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide
• Only one PGAL forms instead of two
![Page 60: Photosynthesis Chp 7](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5528950a5503467a588b4858/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
C4 Plants
• Carbon dioxide is fixed twice
– In mesophyll cells, carbon dioxide is fixed to
form four-carbon oxaloacetate
– Oxaloacetate is transferred to bundle-sheath
cells
– Carbon dioxide is released and fixed again in

Solar-Hydrogen Energy
• Photovoltaic cells use sunlight energy
to split water
• Hydrogen gas produced in this way
can be used as fuel or to generate
electricity
• Clean, renewable technology

Farmed Hydrogen
• Photobiological Hydrogen Production
• Aquatic algae bio-engineered to produce hydrogen gas rather than sugars via photosynthesis
• Place algae in a clear tube, reduce sulfur, place in sunlight, and collect the hydrogen!
