  7. White Light Green is reflected! Leaf Pigments Absorb Most Colors

  8. Light: An Energy Waveform With Particle Properties Too amplitude brightness intensity Many metric units for different purposes We will use an easy-to-remember English unit: foot-candle 0 fc = darkness 100 fc = living room 1,000 fc = CT winter day 10,000 fc = June 21, noon, equator, 0 humidity

  9. 100% Photosynthetic Rate 0 What wavelengths of light drive photosynthesis? Action Spectrum green light reflected some still drives photosynthesis visible spectrum 400 500 600 700 nm wavelength (nm) Light beyond 700 nm has insufficient energy to drive photosynthesis

  10. Photosystem II chlorophyll b P450 lutein P470 to: ETS zeaxanthin energy transfer e- P480 ß-carotene P500 from: H2O lycopene P510 e- chlorophyll b P650 chlorophyll a P680 Light Antenna Pigment Complex In each energy transfersome energy is lost as heat:2nd law of thermodynamics. But enough energyis passed to P680 to eject an electron to the electron transport system.

  15. carboxylation regeneration reduction The Calvin Cycle has Three Phases P-C-C-C-C-C-P ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate CO2 rubisco ADP C-C-C-P 3-phospho-glycerate ATP ATP NADPH C-C-C-P glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate NADP+ ADP + Pi sucrose for transport starch for storage

  16. carboxylation regeneration reduction Let’s Do Some Stoichiometry: 3 P-C-C-C-C-C-P ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate CO2 3 x 5 = 15 C 3 rubisco 3 ADP 6 C-C-C-P 3-phospho-glycerate complex shuffling 6 3 ATP ATP 6 NADPH 5 5 x 3 = 15 C 6 6 C-C-C-P glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate NADP+ To take off 3 carbons: 6 ADP + Pi sucrose for transport starch for storage 6 1

  17. carboxylation regeneration reduction More Stoichiometry: 3 P-C-C-C-C-C-P ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate CO2 3 3 ADP rubisco 6 C-C-C-P 3-phospho-glycerate 3 ATP complex shuffling sucrose and starch are not 3-carbon compounds! 6 ATP 6 NADPH 5 6 6 C-C-C-P glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate NADP+ To take off 3 carbons: 6 ADP + Pi sucrose for transport starch for storage 6 1

  18. The Calvin Cycle and Light Reactions are interdependent H2O O2 Light Reactions thylakoid chlorophyll, etc. ADP + Pi ATP NADP+ NADPH rubisco, etc. Calvin Cycle stroma CO2 (CH2O)3 The Calvin Cycle cannot operate in darkness!“Dark Reactions?”

  19. Photosynthesis: Review and Expansion We have been hiding considerable truth from you! Not 1 step…more like 50! light O2 + CH2O CO2 + H2O chlorophyll Light Reactions: perhaps 25 steps light ADP + P + NADP + H2O O2 + NADPH2 + ATP chlorophyll Interdependent! Calvin Cycle Reactions: perhaps 25 steps AKA: Dark Reactions ATP + NADPH2 + CO2 CH2O + NADP + ADP + P light In sum: CO2 + H2O O2 + CH2O chlorophyll The light and Calvin cycle reactions are interdependent…no dark reactions!

  20. O=C=O O=O RuBisCO: an ancient enzyme with a modern problem RuBisCO RuBP + CO2 2 x P-C-C-C (a triose relative) 1% in air RuBisCO often constitutes up to 40% of the protein in a plant…to ensure enough photosynthesis is achieved RuBisCO RuBP + O2 P-C-C-C (a triose relative) + P-C-C 2 x CO2 20% in air photorespiration • Early in evolution of photosynthesis the atmosphere was anaerobic, so RuBisCo evolved without a problem. • As photosynthesis was successful, competitive inhibition from oxygen was essentially a negative feedback. • Evolution has not yet replaced RuBisCO. • But several workarounds have evolved…
