Overview
• All energy on earth comes from the sun.
• We depend on:– Plants– Algae (underwater plants)– Cyanobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria)
• To provide this energy to us!

Overview
• Carbon dioxide and water are taken in by plants• Plants absorb light energy and convert it to a
usable form.– ATP
• Energy is used to “fix” carbon dioxide into sugar molecules– Chemical energy
• Sugar is converted to starch and stored for use by the plant, and by animals when they eat plants.

Chloroplasts
• Have TWO membranes– A “bi-bilayer!”
• The inner membrane is called the thylakoid.
• The thylakoid is folded and looks like stacks of coins called granum (grana singular).
• The stroma is the space surrounding the granum

Chloroplasts
• Chlorophyll molecules are embedded in the thylakoid membrane
• Act like a light “antenna”
• These molecules can absorb sunlight energy.

Light (dependent)Reactions
• Happen ONLY in sunlight– Hence they depend
on light!
1. Light is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules
2. The energy generates molecules of ATP

Light Independent Reactions(formerly the “dark reactions”)
• Happen in sunlight, and in the dark.
– Hence “independent of light”
1. ATP generated by sunlight drives the Calvin Cycle.
2. Monosaccarides (eg. glucose) are manufactured in the cycle.
3. Monosaccarides are used to “build” polysaccharides (eg. Starch).

Overall Reaction
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen + energy
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + energy

Why do leaves turn brown in the fall?
• It’s all about pigments!
• Let’s go outside and collect some leaves!– to be continued… =)
