Please hand in homework into
the bin.
Then Answer
◦ How do we see colors?
◦ Which color has the longest
wavelength? The shortest?
◦ What pigments are in leaves? What
colors do they reflect?

Overview Of Photosynthesis
Objectives
To be able to list the inputs and outputs of
photosynthesis.
To be able to identify the structures in a
chloroplast.
To be able to summarize light-dependent
reactions.
Photosynthesis
Light energy ------> chemical energy
Used by autotrophs to produce food
All of our energy starts as light energy!
◦ Plants use sunlight to make food animals
eat plants other animals eat those animals
Photosynthetic Organisms
Go through Photosynthesis to produce
GLUCOSE…
Autotrophs -“Producers” in the food web
Consist of plants, protists, cyanobacteria
Photosynthesis
Occurs in CHLOROPLASTS!!
Requires the pigment chlorophyll to
capture energy from light.
Rearrange molecules of water and CO2
into new products
The Chloroplast
Structures within a
chloroplast
Thylakoids:
flattened sac-like membranes arranged in
stacks (stacks are called grana).
Light-dependent reactions take place here.
Electron transport occurs in the thylakoid
membrane
Stroma:
Fluid filled space outside the grana.
Light-independent reactions take place here.
Starting Materials
1.
Carbon Dioxide
2.
Water
3.
Sunlight
Products!
1.
Oxygen
2.
Glucose! (C6H12O6)
**Plants don’t immediately use all the glucose they make:
◦ Stored as STARCH!!
Overall Chemical Equation
Glucose
Phase Overview
1) Light dependent Reactions
◦ Light energy is absorbed and converted into
chemical energy in the form of ATP and
NADPH. (also produces Oxygen!)
2) Light Independent Reactions:(Calvin
Cycle)
◦ CO2 ATP and NADPH are used to make
glucose.
*Glucose is the basic building block for more complex sugars such as starch.*
Do Now
Hand in your lab into the bin. Please make sure
your name and your partners name is on it!
Also grab four pieces of construction paper
from my desk. Any color(s) of your choosing!
Then answer:
◦ What are the reactants and products of
photosynthesis?
◦ What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Light Dependent Reactions
Step 1: Light energy reaches
photosystem II causing the water
molecule to split
H
H
O
H 2O
H+
+
O2
*H+ is released to the electron
transport system.
* O2 is given off as a byproduct.
Step 2: Light energy reaches
photosystem I and electrons flow from
photosystem II to photosystem I. (to
replace the electrons lost)
Step 3: HYDROGEN IONS (protons)
are pumped across the membrane into
the thylakoid space as the electrons move
through the electron transport chain.
Step 4: Electrons from photosystem I move
to a protein called FERRODOXIN
**Ferrodoxin =
“helper” protein**
Step 5: Ferrodoxin transfers electrons to
NADP+ forming NADPH. (Electron Carrier)
◦ We need this for the next part of photosynthesis!
Step 6: Hydrogen ions move through the ATP
SYNTHASE because of the concentration gradient,
creating ATP. (Chemiosynthesis)
To Calvin Cycle
Chemosynthesis
Mechanism in which ATP is produced as a
result from the flow of electrons down a
concentration gradient.
◦ Ex: Light reactions (H+ ions and ATP synthase)

Objectives
List the inputs and outputs of the Calvin Cycle
Define chemiosmosis and it’s role in
photosynthesis.

Light Independent Reactions
(Calvin Cycle)
Takes place in the stroma
Functions like a sugar factory within a chloroplast
◦ **Regenerates the starting material with each turn
Uses NADPH and ATP from Phase I (light dependent
reactions)
Needs CO2!!!
Produces GLUCOSE
Light Independent Reaction
Calvin Cycle
Step 1:
Carbon dioxide molecules breakdown by
combining with RuBP. (Carbon Fixation)
Calvin Cycle
Step 2:
ATP and NADPH transfers energy and electrons to
this molecule to create another three carbon molecule
called G3P.
Calvin Cycle
Step 3:
2 G3P molecules will leave the cycle to create
glucose.
Calvin Cycle
Step 4:
An enzyme (Rubisco) converts the remaining G3P
molecules into RuBP.
◦ RuBP will combine with new carbon dioxide molecules to continue
the cycle.
Calvin Cycle
Inputs
6 CO2
- 18 ATP
- 12 NADPH
-
Outputs
- 2G3P (1 glucose- GOAL!)
- 18 ADP
- 12 NADP+
Location: Stroma of the Chloroplast
QUICK!
Which contains more energy, one
molecule of NADP+ or one molecule of
NADPH?
What is the name of the three carbon
molecule that is a product of the Calvin
Cycle?

Let’s try some examples
How many glucose molecules are made
from 108 ATP in the calvin cycle?
How many carbon dioxide molecules are
needed to make 8 glucose molecules?
Factors that can affect the rate of
photosynthesis!
Light Intensity (Amount)
Rainfall Amount
Temperature
CO₂ Concentration
Stomata can also affect the rate of
photosynthesis!
Stomata- openings (pores) on the underneath leaves that
allow the exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water.
More water available will open up stomata, less water will
cause them to close to reduce water loss.
