Photosynthesis – synthesis using light
General Equation : 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Mesophyll – most active photosynthetic tissue
Photosynthetic Reactions:1. Thylakoid reactions2. Carbon fixation reactions

Nature of Light
1. Light is both a particle and wave. photon – particle quantum – amount of energy of light wavelength – distance between crests frequency – no. of wave crests per unit time

Absorption spectrum – a display of the amount of light energy taken up by a molecule as a function of the wavelength of light Visible region –what our eyes are sensitive to Short wavelength – high frequency, high energy Long wavelength – low frequency , low energy

Change in Electronic State
Upon Absorption of Light Energy: Chl + hv Chl*Pathways for Excited Chlorophyll to dispose its energy :1. Fluorescence – re-emit a photon2. Direct convertion to heat ; no emission of
photon3. Energy transfer4. Photochemistry – energy causes occurence of
chemical reactions

Energy Transfer during Photosynthesis
Resonance transfer – excitation energy is conveyed from the chlorophyll that absorbs the light to the reaction center

Antenna Complexes
• Eukaryotes – within the chloroplast• Prokaryotes – plasma membrane

Light Reactions : Concepts
Quantum Yield – number of photochemical products per total number of quanta absorbed Hill reactions : Robert HillIn the light, isolated chloroplast thylakoids reduce a variety of compounds, eg. Iron salts
Enhancement effect : Robert EmersonThe rate of photosynthesis was greater when red and far-red light were given together than the sum of their individual rates

Photosystems I and II : Differences1. PS l produces a strong reductant, capable of reducing
NADP, and a weak oxidant.2. PS ll produces a very strong oxidant, capable of
oxidizing water, and a weaker reductant than he one produced by PS l
3. PS l : found in the stroma lamella and edges of grana lamella PS ll : predominantly located in the grana lamella
Oxygenic organisms – Oxygen-evolving organisms

Photochemical Event1. Transfer of an electron from the chlorophyll
to an acceptor molecule: chlorophyll is in oxidized state – electron deficient Acceptor is in reduced state – electron rich2. Water is oxidized to Oxygen by PS ll 2 H2O O2 + 4H+ + 4 e-
protons – released into lumen of thylakoid, to stroma by ATP synthase

Rubisco- Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase enzyme Competition:O2and CO2 for the substrate Ribulose
bisphosphate Effect : Limits net CO2 fixation
Autocatalytic- regeneration of biochemical intermediatesStoichiometry : 1/6 – for sucrose or starch production 5/6 – for regeneration of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
![Page 27: Plant physio photosynthesis](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554c04d1b4c9058e098b50b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Regulation of the Calvin Cycle:
1. Light-dependent enzyme activation Rubisco, NADP:glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase;fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, Sedoheptulose-1,7—bisphosphatase, ribulose-5-phosphate kinase2. Increases in Rubisco activity due to light3. Light-dependent ion movements4. Light-dependent membrane transport

Photorespiration
Oxygenation – combination of Rubisco with Oxygen instead of CO2.
- results to CO2 loss
Rise in temperature effect: decrease in CO2 relative to O2 enhances the kinetic properties of Rubisco

C4 Metabolism
1. CO2 fixation by PEP in mesophylly to form a C4 acid ( malate or aspartate)
2. Transport of C4 acids to bundle sheath cells
3. Decarboxylation of C4 acids within bundle sheath cells and generation of CO2 which is brought to Calvin cycle.
4. Transport of the C3 acid back to the mesophyll
