Photosynthesis
Let the sun shine…..
Hooray for photosynthesis!!!!
The equations…
• Cellular respiration-highly exergonic
– C6H12O6 + O2  CO2 + H2O + ATP!!
– Energy released thru oxidation of glucose
• Photosynthesis-highly endergonic
– Light + CO2  C6H12O6 + O2
– Light energy used to reduce CO2
• Stroma
– ATP produced in stroma
– Calvin cycle
• Thylakoid membrane
– Photosystems embedded
– ETCs
– ATP synthase
• Thylakoid space
– H+ conc. gradient
Overview
Produce energy
Required for dark
reactions
“fix” CO2
into glucose
Highly
endergonic
• Light independent reactions
– Occur in thylakoid space & membrane
– Light strikes chlorophyll
– E- are boosted to higher energy level &
travel down an ETC
– Released energy captured to form ATP &
NAPH
– Water molecules borken apart to replace lost
e-
• Light independent reactions-carbon fixing
– Uses energy captured in ATP & NADPH to
reduce CO2 to sugar
– Occurs in stroma
Absorption pigments
• Light energy must be absorbed
to be of any benefit
• Pigments absorb certain
wavelengths of light, which
causes altered structure
• Chloroplasts contain several
pigments
– Chlrophyll-absorbs violet, blue,
red
– Carotenoids-absorb blue & green
– Phycocyanins-absorb green
What happens when chlorophyll absirbs light?
• An e- becomes energized & moves to higher orbital
• This is unstable-e- will normally release energy &
•
move back to its original orbital
In photosynthesis, e- is captured by ETC
What is a photosystem?
• Located in thylakoid membrane
• Composed of a reaction
•
center(chlorophyll),
,accessory(antennae) pigments,
& an ETC
PSI–
–
–
–
evolved 1st,
cotains a dimer of chlorophyll,
can operate independently of PSII,
its ETC makes NADPH
• PSII
– Supllies e- to PSI
– ETC produces ATP
(photophosphorylation)
• Accessory pigments absorb light
& pass it chlorophyll
•Only chlorophyll loses e- to ETCs
Light causes e- to become energized in PSII
Jump to higher level
Water is split to replace e-
E- captured by cytochromes in ETC
Energy used to push H+ from stroma to
space
Gradient used to produce ATP in stroma
E- end up in PSI, which has also lost eTo its ETC
PSI ETC gives its e- to NAD-an e- shuttle,
it carries e- to calvin cycle
Cyclic e- flow-used when no NADP is available-(calvin cycle
uses ATP faster than NADPH)
This ETC shuts down
No NADPH or O2
RuBP carboxylase
CO2 is
reduced
RuBP is
regenerated
Totals-1 glucose molecule
Requires:
6CO2
18 ATP
12 NADPH
How many ATP do we get
From 1 glucose in cell resp?
Reverse reactions of
glycolysis
G3P
In stroma
C4 plants
• During hot weather, stoma
close to avoid water loss
• Causes build up of O2 which
favors photorespirationrubisco not selective
• This inhibits calvin cycle
• C4 plants have 2 adaptations
to combat this
– Bundle sheath cells in leaf
interior-less PSII, so less O2
produced
– PEP carboxylase-high
affinity for CO2 despite O2
levls
– Result is maintenance of
high level of CO2, with a
lower level of O2
CAM plants
• Crusculacean Acid
Metabolism
• Open stomata at
night-store CO2 as CA
• During day, stomata
closed-convert CA
back to CO2 &
photosynthesize
Terminal phosphates
Break off fairly easily
Due to instability of
Molecule-provide
Enough energy for most
Cellular reactions
ADP  AMP + Pi
Coupled reactions-energy released
from exergonic reactions drives
endergonic reactions
Nuclear fusion
H 

He +
Light energy
EXERGONIC
CO2 + H2O

ENDERGONIC
+ O2
This reaction is endergonic
Sometimes the breakdown
Of ATP is coupled to
An endergonic reaction
This bond is
Broken & the
Energy released
Drives the reaction
This compound is Phosphorylated &
Has energy
•ATP is formed through the oxidation
(breakdown) of glucose in a series of step wise
reactions
Redox (oxidation-reduction) Reactions
•
•
•
•
•
•
e- pass from one atom/molecule to another
H+ may also be lost or gained as a result
Molecule which loses the e- (H+) is oxidized
Molecule which gains e- (H+) is reduced
Must always occur together
The transfer of an e- to a more
electronegative atom releases energy
Na +
Cl
Na+ ClNa is oxidized
Cl is reduced
C6H12O6
+
6O2
6CO2 + 6H2O
During cellular respiration…..
•Glucose is oxidized, oxygen is reduced
• e- shift from glucose to highly electronegative O2
•Energy released a little at a time
No matter what food is taken in
It can be fed into this process
At some point!
The Reactions…….
So what’s really important
about
glycolysis?
1. Takes place in cytoplasm
2. With or without oxygen
3. Every living thing on the
planet does it
4. Starts with 6C glucose
5. Ends with 2, 3C pyruvates
6. Gross 4 ATP
7. Net 2ATP, & 2 NADH
Nicotinamide adenine diphosphate, aka
NAD, is an electron shuttle
So what happens
next?
That depends on
whether or not O2 is
present!!!
•W/ O2, Kreb’s cycle & ETC
•W/O O2, fermentation
Fermentation
• In the presence of O2,
•
NADH carries its e- to
the ETC
NAD is regenerated for
use during glycolysis
– W/o this regeneration,
glycolysis would stop!!
• If no O2 is present,
fermentation
regenerates NAD, &
keeps glycolysis active
Hooray for
Fermentation!
Used by anaerobic microorganisms (bacteria, yeast), &
to make human foods
• Used by human
•
•
•
muscles during
vigorous exercise
(oxygen debt)
Allows muscles to
continue working w/o
oxygen
Build-up forces muscles
to slow down until
intake of O2 catches up
Lactic acid eventually
breaks down
•
•
•
•
Outer membrane permeable to most small molecules
Inner membrane only permeable to ATP & pyruvate
Matrix-enzymes, water, Pi-parts of Kreb’s & ETC
Cristae-kreb cycle enzymes, ATP synthetase, ETC
embedded in folds
•Intermediate Step-what’s important…
link between glycolysis & Kreb’s
moves pyruvate into mitochondria (sometimes ACTIVE transport)
happens twice per glucose (2 pyruvate)
start w/ 2 pyruvate
end with 2 acetyl CoA
net 2 NADH, 2 CO2 (by-product)
To Krebs
cycle
oxidized
Series of redox
Reactions which
Completely finishes
The oxidation of
glucose
So Dunbar, help us out
here! What’s important?
• Each glucose requires 2 turns
•
•
•
•
•
of cycle (2 pyruvates)
Takes place in matrix & cristae
Oxaloacetate is regenerated
Start w/ 2 acetyl CoA
End w/ oxaloacetate
Net, per glucose

• TOTALS SO FAR
THE BIG PAYOFF!!!!
• Totals so far…

4 ATP
10 NADH
2 FADH2
6 CO2
• But I thought you could get
•
38 ATPs from just 1
glucose!! What’s the deal
yo?
MOST OF THE ATP COMES
FROM THE ELECTRON
TRANSPORT CHAIN!!!!
So what is it,
anyway????
• A collection of molecules
•
•
•
•
embedded in the cristae
Molecules are proteins called
cytochromes- they can accept &
pass on e- (just like NAD)
– Heme group alternates
between reduced & oxidized
state
NADH & FADH2 drop off e- to 1st
cytochrome, & these are passed
down the chain
Each cytochrome in the chain is
more electronegative than the
one before it
The last e- acceptor is O2
(the most electronegative
of all!!!)
2. Conc. Gradient set
up-water behind a
dam

H+
cristae
1. Energy released as emove closer to O2-used to
pump H+ into
intermembrane space
4. Energy created from H+ moving thru enzyme provides energy to
Phosphorylate ADP (chemiosmosis)
3. H+
MUST pass
thru here
How does this enzyme
work?
Think pinwheel!
1. Rush of H+ turns the
rotor which spins the
rod
2. Turning of rod activates
catalytic sites
3. Each NADH makes
3ATP, each FADH2
makes 2 ATP
•
•
•
10 NADH30 ATP
2 FADH2  4 ATP
SO…………..
TA-DAAAA!!
The last thing!
• How does a
cell/organism control
how much ATP is
made?
– Second step of
glycolysis controlled
thru biofeedback
– Phosphofructokinase is
an allosteric enzyme!!!
