CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE:
Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana.
![Page 3: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
These grana make up what is called the thylakoids. These
thylakoids are surrounded by a dense fluid called the stroma.

Plants use light in the 450 and 700 nm range. Meaning the plants like indigo-blue and
orange-red light.
![Page 7: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Certain colors in light rays are important for proper plant
growth. Leaves reflect and derive little energy from many of the yellow and green rays of the
visible spectrum.
![Page 8: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Yet the red and blue parts of the light spectrum are the most
important energy sources for plants, and plants require more
rays from the red range than from the blue.
![Page 9: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Plants growing outdoors, in greenhouses or close to windows are exposed to a natural balance of the blue and red light rays that
plants need.
![Page 10: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A few incandescent bulbs in the growing area can furnish needed
red rays.
![Page 11: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Various plant pigments help use light. Carotenoids, chlorophyll a,
b, and c.
![Page 12: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Chlorophyll a absorbs indigo and red lights, b absorbs blue and
orange -red, c absorbs blue and orange in smaller amounts.
![Page 13: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chlorophyll is a molecule containing 2 main parts: a
complex ring with a magnesium ion in the center and a nonpolar
tail.
![Page 14: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
OVERVIEW OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS: The reactions of photosynthesis take place in two main stages:
![Page 15: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
a). those that capture energy ( Light Reactions )
b). those that use energy to make carbohydrates ( Calvin Cycle )
![Page 16: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LIGHT REACTIONS:
These reactions take place in the
thylakoid membranes. They involve 2 sets of light -absorbing reactions and 2 sets of electron
transport chain reactions.
![Page 17: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STEP 1. Light hits Photosystem II (P 680) causing electrons to be boosted to a higher energy level
and pass into an electron transport chain.
![Page 18: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
As a result some of the H+ from the stroma are carried through the thylakoid membrane and released
into the space inside. ATP is produced here.
![Page 19: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
STEP 2: at the end of the chain a low energy electron enters
Photosystem I ( P- 700).
![Page 20: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Here it gets energized by more sunlight. This energizes the
electrons and moves them into the NADPH electron chain.
![Page 21: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This chain passes electrons to NADP+ in the stroma. Each
NADP+ accepts 2 electrons and reacts with a H+
in the stroma to form NADPH.
![Page 22: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The result is to move the electrons out of the thylakoid into
the stroma. These electrons are replaced by the splitting of water,
that also produces H+ and O2.
![Page 23: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The H+ stays in the thylakoid and becomes part of the H+ reservoir that will power the
chemiosmotic synthesis of ATP.
![Page 24: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Calvin Cycle:
ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions are used in the
Calvin cycle to reduce carbon dioxide to sugar.
![Page 25: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Calvin cycle is similar to the
Krebs cycle in that the starting material is regenerated by the end
of the cycle.
![Page 26: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Carbon enters the Calvin cycle and leaves as sugar.
ATP is the energy source, while NADPH is the reducing agent
that adds high energy electrons to form sugar.
![Page 27: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Calvin cycle actually produces a 3 carbon sugar
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
![Page 28: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
. The Calvin cycle may be divided
into 3 steps.
![Page 29: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Step 1: Carbon Fixation. This phase begins when a carbon
dioxide molecule is attached to a 5 carbon sugar, ribulose
biphosphate (RuBP).
![Page 30: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme RuBP carboxylase (rubisco) one of the most
abundant proteins on earth.
![Page 31: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The products of this reaction is an unstable 6 carbon compound
that immediately splits into 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.
![Page 32: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
For every 3 molecules of carbon dioxide that enter the cycle via rubisco, 3 RuBP molecules are
carboxylated forming 6 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.
![Page 33: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Step 2: Reduction. This
endergonic reduction phase is a 2 step process that couples ATP
hydrolysis with the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate to
glyceraldehyde phosphate.
![Page 34: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
An enzyme phosphorylates ( adds a phosphate) 3-phosphoglycerate by transferring a phosphate from
the ATP. The product is 1-3-bisphosphoglycerate.
![Page 35: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Electrons from the NADPH reduce the carboxyl group of the 1-3-bisphosphoglycerate to the
aldehyde group of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
![Page 36: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
For every three carbon dioxide molecules that enter the Calvin
cycle,6 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates are produced, only
one can be counted as a net gain.
![Page 37: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The other 5 are used to regenerate 3 molecules of RuBP.
![Page 38: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 3: Regeneration of RuBP. A complex series of reactions
rearranges the carbon skeletons of 5 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
molecules into 3 RuBP molecules.
![Page 39: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
These reactions require 3 ATP molecules.
RuBP is thus regenerated to begin the cycle again.
![Page 40: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
C4 Plants: Many plants begin the
Calvin cycle with a 4 carbon compound instead of a 3 carbon
compound.
![Page 41: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
These are called the C4 plants.
They include the grasses ( sugar cane and corn).
![Page 42: PHOTOSYNTHESIS. CHLOROPLAST STRUCTURE: Double membrane enclosing stacks of green disc like structures called grana](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f125503460f94c25064/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
These plants live in areas that are very hot and semiarid. The intermediate process is shown below and the product is then
introduced to the bundle sheath cells where the Calvin cycle will
take place.
