Photosynthesis
Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells
Autotrophs: self feeders, organisms capable of making their own food
Photosynthesis takes place in specialized structures inside plant cells called chloroplasts– Light absorbing pigment molecules (e.g. chlorophyll)

Oxidation and Reduction
Oxidation means that a reactant lose electrons Reduction means that a reactant gains electrons

Overall Reaction
6CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbohydrate made is glucose Water is split, resulting in the release of electrons
and O2 as a byproduct

Light-Dependent Reactions
Overview: – Light energy is absorbed by electrons in the
chlorophyll and boosts them to higher energy levels.– Electrons are “grabbed” by other molecules (electron
acceptors)– The electrons “fall” to a lower energy state as they
move from molecule to molecule, releasing energy that is harnessed to make ATP
![Page 7: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Energy Shuttling
ATP: cellular energy molecule with 3 phosphate groups bonded to it– When the third phosphate group is removed, lots of
energy is released!
Other nucleotide based molecules move electrons and protons around within the cell– NADP+, NADPH– NAD+, NADP– FAD, FADH2

Light-dependent Reactions
Photosystem: light capturing unit, contains chlorophyll, the light capturing pigment
Electron Transport Chain: sequence of electron carrier molecules that shuttle electrons; energy released is used to make ATP
Light reactions yield ATP and NADPH used to fuel the reactions of the Calvin Cycle
![Page 9: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Step-by-Step…
Light energy excites electrons in Photosystem II and water molecules are split to provide additional electrons
The excited electrons move along a sequence of electron carrier molecules in the thylakoid called the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
As they move, they lose energy which is used to move protons (H+) into the thylakoid. This proton gradients lets ATP be made from ADP
Electrons enter Photosystem I and are excited by more light energy The excited electrons move along another ETC This ETC moves the electrons close to the stroma where they
combine with a proton and NADP+ to form NADPH
Electrons from Photosystem II replace the ones used in Photosystem I. Water molecules are split to provide replacement electrons for Photosystem II.

![Page 12: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Calvin Cycle
ATP and NADPH generated in light reactions are used to fuel the Calvin Cycle, reactions which take CO2 and break it apart, then reassemble the carbons into glucose.
Carbon Fixation occurs – Taking carbon from an inorganic molecule
(atmospheric CO2) and making an organic molecule out of it (glucose)
![Page 13: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step-By-Step…
CO2 diffuses into the stroma and combines each CO2 molecule with a five-carbon molecule (RuBP)
The new six-carbon molecule is unstable and splits into two three-carbon molecules (3-PGA)
Each three-carbon molecule is coverted into another three-carbon molecule (G3P). First, it receives a phosphate from ATP. Then it receives a proton from NADPH and releases a phosphate.
One of the new three-carbon compounds leaves the cycle to make glucose.
The remain three-carbon compounds are converted back into five carbon molecules (RuBP) through the addition of phosphates from ATP

Harvesting Chemical Energy
Plants and animals both use products of photosynthesis (glucose) for metabolic fuel
Heterotrophs: must take in energy from outside sources, cannot make their own e.g. animals
When we take in glucose (or other carbs), proteins, and fats-these foods don’t come to us the way our cells can use them
![Page 15: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cellular Respiration Overview
Transformation of chemical energy in food into chemical energy cells can use: ATP
These reactions proceed the same way in plants and animals. Process is called cellular respiration
Overall Reaction:– C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
![Page 16: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cellular Respiration Overview
Breakdown of glucose begins in the cytoplasm At this point life diverges into two forms and two
pathways– Anaerobic cellular respiration (aka fermentation)– Aerobic cellular respiration
![Page 17: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cellular Respiration Reactions
Glycolysis– Series of reactions which break the 6-carbon glucose
molecule down into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate using ATP
– Process is ancient -all organisms from simple bacteria to humans perform it the same way
– Yields 2 ATP molecules for every one glucose molecule broken down
– Yields 2 NADH per glucose molecule
![Page 18: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step-By-Step…
2 ATP molecules attach to two phosphates to a glucose molecule, making a new six carbon compound
The six-carbon compound is split into two three-carbon compounds (G3P)
The two three-carbon compounds are oxidized and receive a phosphate and make a new three-carbon compound
NAD+ is reduced to NADH The phosphate groups are removed, producing two molecules
of pyruvic acid and 4 ATP are made
![Page 19: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
Some organisms thrive in environments with little or no oxygen– No oxygen used = anaerobic
Results in no more ATP, final steps in these pathways serve ONLY to regenerate NAD+ so it can return to pick up more electrons and hydrogens in glycolysis
![Page 21: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lactic Acid Production
After glycolysis, a hydrogen atom is transferred from NADH (oxidizing to NAD+) and a free proton is added to pyruvic acid to form lactic acid
NAD+ is used in glycolysis Fermentation can be used to produce cheese,
yogurt, sour cream and more
![Page 22: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Alcoholic Fermentation
After glycolysis, a CO2 molecule is removed from pyruvic acid, leaving a two-carbon compound
Two hydrogen atoms, from NADH and a proton, are added to the two-carbon compound to form ethyl alcohol
Alcoholic fermentation by yeast cells is the basis of the wine and beer industry
Bread also rises due to CO2 production

Aerobic Cellular Respiration
Oxygen required = aerobic 2 more sets of reactions which occur in a
specialized structure within the cell called the mitochondria– 1. Kreb’s Cycle– 2. Electron Transport Chain
![Page 25: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Kreb’s Cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose– Takes the pyruvate (3-carbons) and breaks it down– The carbon and oxygen atoms end up in CO2 and H2O
– Hydrogens and electrons are stripped and loaded onto NAD+ and FAD to produce NADH and FADH2
Production of only 2 more ATP but loads up the coenzymes with H+ and electrons which move to the 3rd stage
![Page 26: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Step-By-Step
A two-carbon compound (acetyl CoA) combines with a four-carbon compound (oxaloacetic acid) to make a six-carbon compound (citric acid)
Citric acid releases a CO2 molecule and a hydrogen atom to form a five-carbon compound
– The hydrogen atom is transferred to NAD+ to make NADH The five-carbon compound releases a CO2 molecule and a hydrogen
atom to form a four-carbon compound. NAD+ becomes NADH The four-carbon compound releases a hydrogen atom to form
another four-carbon compound– This hydrogen atom reduces FAD to FADH2
The four-carbon compound releases another hydrogen atom to regenerate oxaloacetic acid and reduces NAD+ to NADH
![Page 27: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Krebs Cycle Outcome
One glucose molecule is completely broken down after two turns of the Krebs Cycle
Two turns produce four CO2 molecules, two ATP molecules and hydrogen molecules used to make six NADH and two FADH2
CO2 diffuses as waste ATP is used for energy Add in the four NADH from glycolysis and
conversion to pyruvic acid, and we’re ready for the next step!

Electron Transport Chain
Electron carriers loaded with electrons and protons from the Kreb’s cycle move to this chain-like a series of steps (staircase).
As electrons drop down stairs, energy released to form a total of 32 ATP
Oxygen waits at bottom of staircase, picks up electrons and protons and in doing so becomes water
![Page 30: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. Photosynthesis Method of converting sun energy into chemical energy usable by cells Autotrophs: self feeders,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e7b5503460f94b7d272/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Step-By-Step
Electrons in the hydrogen atoms from NADH and FADH2 are at a high energy
NADH and FADH2 give up electrons to the ETC– NADH donates them at the beginning– FADH2 donates them midway
The electrons move down the chain, loosing energy The energy creates a proton gradient and an electrical
gradient from the positive charge ATP is generated from the gradients from ADP and
phosphate Oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons that have
passed down the chain. The protons, electrons, and oxygen combine to form water.

Energy Tally
36 ATP for aerobic vs. 2 ATP for anaerobic
– Glycolysis 2 ATP
– Kreb’s 2 ATP
– Electron Transport 32 ATP 36 ATP
Anaerobic organisms can’t be too energetic but are important for global recycling of carbon
