8-2 Photosynthesis: An Overview
• Photosynthesis:
– Plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy carbohydrates (sugars and starches).carbohydrates (sugars and starches).
Equation (unbalanced):
H2O + CO2 + Sunlight O2 + carbohydrates
(glucose)

– Van Helmont
– Priestley– Priestley
– Ingenhousz

Jan Baptiste Van Helmont
![Page 8: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Von Helmont ProblemQUESTION: Do plants grow by taking material out of the soil?
� He put a 2.3 kg. (5 lb.) willow tree in 90.8 kg (200 lbs). of soil.� The tree received only rainwater for five years.� After 5 years, Von Helmont found that the soil � After 5 years, Von Helmont found that the soil only weighed 57 g less than when the experiment began.� The willow tree now weighed 76.8 kg (169 lbs. 3 oz.).
![Page 9: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What did Helmont conclude was responsible for most of the tree weight gain? -WATER!
Is this the only thing responsible?-NO
![Page 10: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Main fact we learned from Van
Helmont's experiments:
• The mass gained by a plant is NOT from the soil!
![Page 11: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Joseph Priestley
![Page 12: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• In 1772 another Englishman, Joseph Priestly (1733-1804), reported the results of an important experiment.
• He found that a sprig of mint would not die when placed in air that had been “spent” (used) by burning a candle in it.
• To the contrary, in such air the plant would grow and the air would then, to his astonishment, again and the air would then, to his astonishment, again support a candle flame.
• Priestly inferred that the mint produced a substance that was required for burning.
• What is that substance?
![Page 13: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Main fact we learned from Priestly's
experiments:
• Plants produce a substance that “refreshes” spent air …OXYGEN!
![Page 14: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
J. Ingenhousz
![Page 15: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The Dutch physician, Jan Ingenhousz, published Experiments on Vegetables, which supplied experimental evidence stating that the effect observed by Priestly occurred only in sunlight. Priestly occurred only in sunlight.
**He also showed that only the green parts of plants, especially the leaves, have this capacity.
![Page 16: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Main fact we learned from
Ingenhousz’ experiments:
• Only the green parts of plants produce this “refreshing” substance (O2), and only when exposed to sunlight
![Page 17: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
(Before the REAL fun begins!)
![Page 18: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Photosynthesis overview (8.2)
6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2
• Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and
light
chlorophyll
convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy sugars
• C6H12O6 = glucose (a simple sugar)
• Plants use the sugars to produce complex carbohydrates such as starches.
![Page 19: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Light & Pigment• White light is actually a mixture of different
wavelengths of light.
• Plants gather the sun’s energy with light absorbing molecules called PIGMENTS.
• The plant’s principle pigment is chlorophyll and there are 2 main types: “a” and “b.”there are 2 main types: “a” and “b.”– Plants also contain red and orange pigments such as
carotene which absorbs light in other areas of the spectrum.
• Energy absorbed by chlorophyll is transferred directly to electrons in the chlorophyll molecule. These high energy electrons make photosynthesis work!
![Page 21: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
So why are leaves green?
• Look at the wavelengths of light that chlorophyll absorbs & uses in & uses in photosynthesis
• The colors that are left are reflected back and that is what you see.

Check for understanding…
• Would a plant grow well in green light? Explain!

CHLOROPLAST CROSS-SECTION
This is where photosynthesis occurs…
![Page 28: NOTES: 8.2 – 8.3 PHOTOSYNTHESIS!](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012623/61a26402806f785a4d0bedcc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Before we get to the hard stuff…
� When energy from the sun excites electrons,
they increase in energy
� They are so “hot” that they need an electron
carriercarrier
� An electron carrier moves high energy
electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
(without using much energy itself)
– In photosynthesis, this electron carrier is:
NADP+

CALVIN CYCLE(the “Light-Independent”
Reactions!)
• Plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high-energy NADPH contain to build high-energy compounds (carbohydrates!) that can be stored for a long time.

Factors Affecting Photosynthesis:
���� Water supply
���� Temperature
-Some of the enzymes function best between
0-35 degrees Celsius.0-35 degrees Celsius.
���� Intensity of light
-As light intensity increases, so does the rate of
photosynthesis (to a point)
