Unit 4: Photosynthesis

Begins with Glucose

fermentation occurs without oxygen

enzyme hexokinase phosphorylates glucose phosphoglucoisomerase converts glucose 6-phosphate into isomer
Fermentation occurs when no oxygen is present
Glycolysis

2 molecules of pyruvate per glucose and 4 ATP, Net 2 ATP are produced

2 NAD+ are reduced to NADH with the addition of hydrogen

each 3 carbon has a phosphate atachted to it

Uses 2 ATP to break up glucose into 2- 3 carbon chains

hit by photon of light that energy is transferred and funneled to the reaction center

Signal sequence is recognized by signal recognition protein (SRP)

Use energy (respiration)

Oxidative phosphorylation

Citric acid cycle

glycolysis

Act 3:
and glucoses will quickly be assembled into starch
TWO g3ps are needed to make 1 glucose(which was released in act 2)
another carbon from carbon dioxide attaches again, attaches to the carbon ribulose bisphosphate to make unstable 6 carbon intermediate and so on and so forth
basically be rearranged with the help of ATP to form a 5 carbon sugar and becomes a starting point ones again
5 g3p CONTINUES IN THE CYCLE
ADP and NADP will return to the light reactions and get recharged
NADPH has been oxidized to form NADP (lost electrons)
ATP becomes ADP
End of act 2, we have 6 G3P, one will be released to make glucose ultimately and FIVE will continue
need 3 more atp
G3P is half a glucose, so far we have spent 6 atp and 6 nadph
end of 2nd act makes the product
ATP is used to phosphorylate the other side of the 3 carbon molecule, and 3 carbon molecule is reduced by NADPH to form one molecule of G3P
Act 1:
co2 enters the cycle diffused into the leaf through the stomata and into the chloroplast, and its carbon is snapped onto a pre-existing 5 carbon carboyhdate by the enzyme rubisco

this makes a highly unstable 6 carbon molecule and breaks down immediately due to its 2 phosphate groups

CO2 fixation
carbon fixing reactions are light independent
we need a source of carbon, so we use co2
products of the light reactions except of o2 are reactants in calvin cycle
energy in ATP and NADPH is transferred into sugar, a more stable storage form

Starts on photosystem II in the process: Light Reactions: Part I

Chemiosmosis
Mitochondria and Chloroplast Differences in Chemiosmosis

where electrons are coming from that moved down from ETC and established the proton gradient

Respiration

the high energy electrons are coming from food as we break down like glucose that has a high PE which we use to make ATP

Photosynthesis

source of the electrons - the excited energy, higher energy state, is coming from chlorophyll molecules as photon hits a cholorphyll molecule that excites a electron and that energy is what is driving the generation of ATP

proton movement in both organelles.

Chloroplasts

protons pumped in the thylakoid space, (stacks)

pump protons pump in the inner membrane gradient

Mitochondria and Chloroplast similarities in Chemiosmosis

ATP is generated in the compartment where its needed

ATP synthase uses proton motive force to phosphorylate ADP to make ATP

both respiration and photosynthesis, rely on a proton gradient that is generated by the ETC as electrons move down their electron transport chain

both cases, there is inherent energy and electron transport chain pumping protons across the membrane

RESULT: HIGH PROTON CONCENTRATION BUILDING UP IN THE THYLAKOID SPACE
pumping of protons from the stroms to the thylakoid space using the energy inherent in the ETC
protons are released from the thylakoid space
atp synthases allows protons to move down their concentration gradient to produce ATP from ADP
can be used to do work
using proton motive force to generate atp
Light reactions:
this is called NON- CYCLIC FLOW
olar energy is used to make ATP and NADP not for cellular work but for calvin cycle
Act3:
this electron goes to a shorter ETC, then electron carrier NADP grabs the electron and becomes NADPH
electron in that reaction center bounces to a higher state
Photosystem transfers electrons, reduces NADP+ to NADPH
Act 2:
proton gradient is used to make ATP
primary e acceptor passes it to ETC, uses energy to move protons against concentration gradient to move it into the thylakoid space
Energy is transferred through Electron Transport Chain to Photosystem I
Act 1 :
protons (from water) are released to thylakoid space (lowering pH) , used to drive the synthesis of ATP
O2 IS RELEASED AS A BY-PRODUCT
Chlorophylls lost electron is REPLACED BY TAKING AN ELECTRON FROM WATER “splitting water”
H2O split into oxygen and hydrogen
Energy is captured by Photosystem II

Photosystem

Reaction center is where the electron will be excited and ultimately lost from the chrolophyll, primary electron acceptor grabs it chlorophyll loses it
Photon hits the photosystem and hits the cholorphyll molecules and ultimately funneled by the reaction center (special chlorophyll molecules)
a ray of satellite dishes that tries to gather light
collection of proteins and pigment molecules

Retrieve energy (light reactions)

-not make sugars directly
NADPH & ATP is used to drive calvin cycle
light reactions gather energy and transfer it to electron carriers (NADPH is an electron carrier) or use energy to make ATP
harvest energy
