8.3 Using Light Energy to Make Organic Molecules

  • Aerobic organisms use the remainder to support respiration.
  • The electrons lose energy when they move through the proteins.
    • This energy is used to move hydrogen atoms from the stromal side of the membranes to the thylakoid lumen.
    • The hydrogen atoms and the ones produced by the splitting of water will be used to synthesise the molecule.
    • Another photon is absorbed by the PSI antenna because the electrons have lost energy prior to their arrival.
  • A high-energy electron is sent to NADP+ from P700.
    • The energy that is captured by the PSII is used to create a proton gradient to make the molecule ATP.
    • The two photosystems work together to make sure that the production of NADPH will match the production of ATP.
    • There are other mechanisms that can be used to fine- tune that ratio.
  • In the same way as in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria during cellular respiration, the build up of hydrogen ion inside the thylakoid lumen creates a concentration gradient.
    • As in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, the passive dispersal of hydrogen ion from high concentration to low concentration is harnessed to create ATP.
    • The ion have the same electrical charge and they 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609-
  • Similar to water in a dam, hydrogen ion will rush through any opening to release this energy.
    • The opening in the thylakoid is through a specialized channel.
    • The energy released by the hydrogen ion stream allows ATP synthase to attach a third group to ADP, which forms a molecule of ATP (w of hydrogen ion through ATP synthase is called chemiosmosis because the ions move from an area of high to an area of low concentration through a
  • Click through the animation to see the process of photosynthesis within a leaf.
  • After the energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy, the cell has the fuel needed to build a long-term energy storage system.
    • The products of the light- dependent reactions have lifespans in the range of millionths of seconds, whereas the products of the light independent reactions can survive for a long time.
    • The carbon atoms are in the back of the carbohydrate molecule.
    • It comes from carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of respiration.
  • In plants, CO2 diffuses through intercellular spaces until it reaches the mesophyll cells.
    • CO2 diffuses into the stroma of the mesophyll cells.
    • There are several names associated with these reactions.
    • Others call it the Calvin-Benson cycle because it includes the name of another scientist.
    • "dark reaction" is the most outdated name because light is not required.
    • The term dark reaction can be misleading because it implies that the reaction only occurs at night, which is why most scientists and instructors no longer use it.
  • Light reactions harness the sun's energy to make chemical bonds.
    • The stroma is where carbon fixation takes place.
  • The Calvin cycle has three basic stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration.
  • The five atoms of carbon are flanked by two phosphates.
  • The Calvin cycle has three stages.
    • In stage 1, carbon dioxide is incorporated into an organic molecule.
    • The organic molecule is reduced using electrons.
  • Only one carbon dioxide molecule is incorporated at a time, so the cycle must be completed three times to produce a single three-carbon G3P molecule, and six times to produce a six-carbon glucose molecule.
  • Oxygen, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are reactants.
    • Water and G3P are products.
  • Carbon dioxide and water are reactants.
    • Oxygen and G3P are products.
  • Oxygen is a product.
  • Oxygen and G3P are products.
  • There is a reaction between CO2 and RuBP.
    • For each CO2 molecule that reacts with one other, two other compounds form.
    • There are three carbons and onephosphate in the PGA.
    • Each turn of the cycle involves only one carbon dioxide and one molecule of 3-PGA.
    • The number of carbon atoms remains the same, as the atoms move to form new bonds during the reactions.
  • The six molecule of 3-PGA are converted into six molecule of a chemical called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
    • The reduction reaction involves the gain of electrons.
    • There are six molecules of the same molecule used.
    • Both energy and a hydrogen atom are lost when the terminal phosphate atom is lost.
    • Both of these molecule return to the light-dependent reactions to be regenerated.
  • Only one of the G3P molecule leaves the Calvin cycle and is sent to the cytoplasm to contribute to the formation of other compounds needed by the plant.
    • It takes three Calvin cycles to fix enough net carbon to export one G3P.
    • Three turns make six G3Ps.
    • The system can prepare for more CO2 to be fixed if the remaining five G3P molecules remain in the cycle and are regenerated.
    • The regeneration reactions use more than one molecule of ATP.
  • The link leads to an animation of the Calvin cycle.
  • During the evolution of photosynthesis, there was a major shift from thebacterial type of photosynthesis that used only one photo system to the modern type that uses two photosystems.
    • The process and components of this photosynthesis remain largely the same as it was when it was used by giant tropical leaves in the rainforest.
    • Photosystems convert energy into chemical energy by using electron transport chains.
  • Plants need every drop of water to survive in the desert.
    • During active photosynthesis, water escapes from the leaf to allow for the absorption of CO2.
    • Desert plants deal with harsh conditions and conserve water.
    • Plants can adapt to living with less water by using mechanisms to capture and store CO2 cacti can use a temporary carbon fixation/storage process to make materials for photosynthesis during the night because opening the stomata at this time conserves water due to cooler temperatures.
    • During the day cacti use the captured CO2 for photosynthesis.
  • The harsh conditions of the desert have led plants like these to evolve variations of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
    • The variations increase the efficiency of water usage.
    • All living things are able to access energy by breaking down carbon-rich organic molecules.
    • Living things need energy to function.
    • The food still needs to be broken down and an organisms can either make its own food or eat another organisms.
    • Heterotrophs release needed energy and produce waste in the form of CO2 gas when they break down food.
  • Every atom of matter and energy is recycled over and over again.
    • Substances change form or move from one type of molecule to another.
  • CO2 is not more of a waste than oxygen is.
    • There are two reactions that move on to other reactions.
    • Aerobic cellular respiration releases energy by using oxygen to metabolize carbohydrates in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, while photosynthesis absorbs light energy to build carbohydrates in the chloroplasts.
    • Both processes use electron transport chains.
    • The two powerhouse processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration allow organisms to access life-sustaining energy that comes from millions of miles away in a burning star humans call the sun.
  • Carbon dioxide and oxygen are produced by photosynthesis.
    • Oxygen and carbon dioxide are produced by aerobic respiration.
    • The carbon cycle is influenced by these two processes.
  • Life on Earth was changed by the process of photosynthesis.
    • The action builds up a lot of energy from the sun.
    • The hydrogen ion flow allowed living things to get access to huge amounts of energy.
    • Living things used for the formation of sugar molecule in the second gained access to sufficient energy that allowed them to build stage of photosynthesis.
    • A second new structure is absorbed by Photosystem I.
  • Light energy can be used to make visible spectrum.
  • The first steps of the atmosphere formed the energy carriers.

    • An activity takes place.
    • The process with CO2 and other organic prokaryotes is less compound in Ru BisCO.
    • Extensions of the molecule of G3P leave the cycle to become part of the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm after three cycles.
  • The cycle to be regenerated is light- dependent and ready for Photosynthesis to react with more CO2.
  • The light contains both chloroplasts and mitochondria, they rely on dependent reactions to absorb energy from sunlight.
    • To initiate function in both the light and dark, and to be able to photosynthesis, a photon must strike the antenna of photosystem II.
