Biology Slide 1 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Slide 2 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Inside a Chloroplast Inside a Chloroplast In plants, photosynthesis takes place inside chloroplasts. Plant Chloroplast Plant cells Slide 3 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Inside a Chloroplast Chloroplasts contain thylakoids—saclike photosynthetic membranes. Single thylakoid Chloroplast Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 4 of 51 End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Inside a Chloroplast Thylakoids are arranged in stacks known as grana. A singular stack is called a granum. Granum Chloroplast Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 5 of 51 End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Inside a Chloroplast Proteins in the thylakoid membrane organize chlorophyll and other pigments into clusters called photosystems, which are the light-collecting units of the chloroplast.

Cells use electron carriers to transport these highenergy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules. Slide 8 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Electron Carriers One carrier molecule is NADP+. Electron carriers, such as NADP+, transport electrons. NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion (H+). This converts the NADP+ into NADPH. Slide 9 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Light-Dependent Reactions Light-Dependent Reactions The light-dependent reactions require light. The light-dependent reactions produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH.

Photosystem II Slide 12 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis Light-Dependent Reactions These high-energy electrons are passed on to the electron transport chain.

Slide 31 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis The Calvin Cycle The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars. Because the Calvin cycle does not require light, these reactions are also called the light-independent reactions. Slide 32 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis The Calvin Cycle Six carbon dioxide molecules enter the cycle from the atmosphere and combine with six 5-carbon molecules. CO2 Enters the Cycle Slide 33 of 51 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show 8-3 The Reactions of Photosynthesis The Calvin Cycle The result is twelve 3-carbon molecules, which are then converted into higher-energy forms.
