Lesson 17: Photosynthesis

Guide Card
Introduction
Day after day, these little green machines faithfully convert sunlight into energy for all living
things to use. God’s provision is so commonplace, that we don’t even think about it.

Summer breezes rustling the leaves, soft grass tickling bare feet, ripe grapes bursting on
the vine, sunflowers dancing in the garden. These are just a few of the things we enjoy about the
diverse plants that God gave us. But plants do so much more behind the scenes that we take for
granted. Without plants, life as we know it could not exist.

The energy source that powers life is the sun. The problem is that the sun’s energy comes
to us in a form we can’t use. So we depend on earth’s “green things” to help us.

God programmed these amazing little machines to work nonstop, supplying practically all
living things with the energy they need. We, as well as animals, get our energy from them:
leaves, seeds, nuts, fruits, flowers, and other tasty parts. Indirectly, we get energy from plant-
eaters.

The ability of plants to produce food from the sun (photosynthesis) is one of the most
important and complex biological processes known to scientists. Yet we rarely notice the true
wonder of plants. Starting with a seemingly simple leaf, let’s reexamine the wonders we’ve all
known since grade school and marvel at the beauty and detail the Creator intricately designed
within them.

Review / What’s In

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protists convert light
energy (sun) into chemical energy (food). These organisms are referred to as the producers and they are
vitally important to all life on earth. They produce food for themselves and to feed the consumers who
cannot make their own food. Oxygen, also essential for life, is a by-product of photosynthesis.

The food web describes how the energy produced by plants flows through an ecosystem. In this
module, you will learn the structures and processes involved in photosynthesis.

GUIDE CARD

When plants do photosynthesis, 6 water molecules and 6 carbon dioxide molecules react with
sunlight to produce one glucose molecules and 6 oxygen molecules

Although the equation looks simple, there are many steps that take place during photosynthesis
are actually quite complex, as in the way that the reaction summarizing cellular respiration represented
many individual reactions. Before learning the details of how photoautotrophs turn sunlight into food, it
is important to become familiar with the physical structures involved.

In plants, photosynthesis takes place primarily in leaves, which consist of many layers of cells and
have differentiated top and bottom sides. The process of photosynthesis occurs not on the surface layers
of the leaf, but rather in a middle layer called the mesophyll (Figure 1). The gas exchange of carbon
dioxide and oxygen occurs through small, regulated openings called stomata.

 In all autotrophic eukaryotes, photosynthesis takes place inside an organelle called a chloroplast.
In plants, chloroplast-containing cells exist in the mesophyll. Chloroplasts have a double (inner and outer)
membrane. Within the chloroplast is a third membrane that forms stacked, disc-shaped structures called
thylakoids. Embedded in the thylakoid membrane are molecules of chlorophyll, a pigment (a molecule
that absorbs light) through which the entire process of photosynthesis begins. Chlorophyll is responsible
for the green color of plants. The thylakoid membrane encloses an internal space called the thylakoid
space. Other types of pigments are also involved in photosynthesis, but chlorophyll is by far the most
important. As shown in Figure 1, a stack of thylakoids is called a granum, and the space surrounding the
granum is called stroma (not to be confused with stomata, the openings on the leaves).

Discussion

In plants, photosynthesis primarily takes place in the leaves. The typical parts of the leaves include
the upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll spongy layer, vascular bundles, and stomata. The upper and
lower epidermis protects the leaves. Mesophyll has the most number of chloroplasts that contain
chlorophyll. They are important in trapping light energy from the sun. Vascular bundles-phloem and
xylem serve as transporting vessels of manufactured food and water. Carbon dioxide and oxygen were
collected in the spongy layer and enters and exits the leaf through the stomata.

The parts of the chloroplast include the outer and inner membranes, intermembrane space, stroma
and thylakoids stacked in grana. The chlorophyll is built into the membranes of the thylakoids.
Chlorophyll absorbs white light but it look green because white light consists of three primary colors: red,
blue, and green. Only red and blue light are absorbed thus making these colors unavailable to be seen by
our eyes while the green light is reflected which makes the chlorophyll looks green. The energy from red
light and blue light that are absorbed and will be used in photosynthesis

Location of Chlorophyll in Photosynthetic Plant Cells

Chlorophyll is present in the internal green membranes of the chloroplast.

The material within the chloroplast is called the stroma. Within the stroma are stacks of thylakoids,
the sub-organelles which are the site of photosynthesis. The thylakoids are arranged in stacks called grana
(singular: granum). A thylakoid has a flattened disk shape. Inside it is an empty area called the thylakoid
space or lumen. The light phase of photosynthesis takes place on the thylakoid membrane. The dark
phase of photosynthesis takes place in the stroma. Note that the chloroplast is surrounded by a double
membrane.

ENERGY FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The energy needed for photosynthesis is obtained from sunlight (or artificial light). The green plant
stores this energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine TriPhophate) and then uses the energy to carry out
photosynthesis.

MAIN EVENTS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS (ordinary level)

1. Light is absorbed by the leaf s chloroplasts.
2. The light energy is used to split water molecules.
3. The breakup of water releases oxygen, electrons and protons (H+, H ions)
a. The electrons go to the chlorophyll.

6
 b. The protons are stored in the chloroplast.
c. The oxygen passes from the chloroplast. Some will be used by the mitochondria for aerobic
respiration and the remainder will be passed into the atmosphere.
4. Some of the light energy is carried to the chlorophyll to form high energy electrons.
5. The high energy electrons and the stored protons combine with carbon dioxide to form glucose.
(C6H12O6)
This diagram represents the 5 events listed above:

Source of Carbon Dioxide in Leaf Cells

Carbon dioxide in air is the major source for the leaves of plants. Also carbon dioxide produced
by the mitochondria of the plant during aerobic respiration is a minor source. Carbon dioxide
dissolved in water is the major source for aquatic plants.

Source of Water in Leaf Cells

Water from the soil is the major source. It is carried to the leaves in xylem tissue. Some water is
also produced by the mitochondria of leaf cells during aerobic respiration.

Guide Card
Introduction
All living organisms on earth consist of one or more cells. Each cell runs on the chemical energy
found mainly in carbohydrate molecules (food), and the majority of these molecules are produced by one
process: photosynthesis. Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into
chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these
molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform
work, such as cellular respiration.

The energy that is harnessed from photosynthesis enters the ecosystems of our planet continuously
and is transferred from one organism to another. Therefore, directly or indirectly, the process of
photosynthesis provides most of the energy required by living things on earth.
Photosynthesis also results in the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. In short, to eat and breathe,
humans depend almost entirely on the organisms that carry out photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants. After the process
is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly
glucose. These sugar molecules contain the energy that living things need to survive.

Review / What’s In

In the previous module we have learned about photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis
transformed life on earth. By harnessing energy from the sun, photosynthesis allowed living things to
access enormous amounts of energy. Because of photosynthesis, living things gained access to sufficient
energy, allowing them to evolve new structures and achieve the biodiversity that is evident today.

Only certain organisms, called autotrophs, can perform photosynthesis; they require the presence
of chlorophyll, a specialized pigment that can absorb light and convert light energy into chemical energy.
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to assemble carbohydrate molecules (usually glucose) and
releases oxygen into the air. Eukaryotic autotrophs, such as plants and algae, have organelles called
chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place.
In plants, photosynthesis takes place primarily in leaves, which consist of many layers of cells and
have differentiated top and bottom sides. The process of photosynthesis occurs not on the surface layers
of the leaf, but rather in a middle layer called the mesophyll (Figure 1). The gas exchange of carbon
dioxide and oxygen occurs through small, regulated openings called stomata.
In all autotrophic eukaryotes, photosynthesis takes place inside an
organelle called a chloroplast. In plants, chloroplast-containing cells
exist in the mesophyll. Chloroplasts have a double (inner and outer)
membrane. Within the chloroplast is a third membrane that forms
stacked, disc-shaped structures called thylakoids. Embedded in the
thylakoid membrane are molecules of chlorophyll, a pigment (a
molecule that absorbs light) through which the entire process of
photosynthesis begins.
Chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of plants. The
thylakoid membrane encloses an internal space called the thylakoid
space. Other types of pigments are also involved in photosynthesis,
but chlorophyll is by far the most important. As shown in Figure 1, a
stack of thylakoids is called a granum, and the space surrounding the
granum is called stroma (not to be confused with stomata, the
openings on the leaves).

GUIDE CARD
THE LIGHT-DEPENDENT REACTIONS AND THE CALVIN CYCLE

Photosynthesis in the leaves of plants involves many steps, but it can be divided into two stages:
the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane and require a continuous
supply of light energy. Chlorophylls absorb this light energy, which is converted into chemical energy
through the formation of two compounds ATP—an energy storage molecule—and NADPH —a reduced
(electron-bearing) electron carrier. In this process, water molecules are also converted to oxygen gas—the
oxygen we breathe!

The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma and does
not directly require light. Instead, the Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent
reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce three-carbon sugars—glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, or G3P,
molecules—which join up to form glucose.

14
 Schematic of the light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle and how they're connected.

Overall, the light-dependent reactions capture light energy and store it temporarily in the chemical
forms of ATP and NADPH. There, ATP is broken down to release energy, and NADPH donates its
electrons to convert carbon dioxide molecules into sugars. In the end, the energy that started out as light
winds up trapped in the bonds of the sugars

Discussion
THE MAIN EVENTS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS (higher level)
Photosynthesis takes place in two stages; the light stage and the dark stage. The light stage needs
light so it is called the light-dependent stage. The dark stage is called the light-independent stage.

THE LIGHT REACTION

The light reaction takes place in the chloroplast s thylakoid membranes. The events of the light
stage are as follows:

1. Light Absorption: All the colours of white light (except green light) are absorbed by pigments in the
chloroplast.
2. Energy Transfer: The energy is transferred to electrons. These electrons become high energy
electrons. Within the chloroplasts are electron acceptors.

After the electron acceptor receives the high energy electrons the electrons will flow to one of
two paths:
Pathway 1 (Cyclic Electron Transport): The high energy electrons travel through a series of
electron acceptors (electron carrier system) and then back to the chlorophyll molecule. As they travel
through the acceptors they lose energy. This energy is in ADP molecules. This is used to combine with 1
more phosphate molecule to form ATP and water. This is a high energy molecule.

The addition of a phosphate molecule to ADP is called phosphorylation. Since light is needed this
addition of phosphate is called photophophoylation.
THIS DIAGRAM DEPICTS PATHWAY 1:

16
 Pathway 2 (Non-cyclic Electron Transport): As in Stage 1 the electron has gained energy from
sunlight. The electron moves from acceptor to acceptor but does not return to the chlorophyll. As an
electron moves from acceptor to acceptor it is passed to NADP+. This causes the NADP+ to become
neutral. This NADP molecule receives another electron and becomes NADP- (negative). The negative
NADP- attracts the proton + which was previously released when water was broken up. The molecule
now becomes NADPH.
THIS DIAGRAM DEPICTS PATHWAY 2:

SUMMARY OF THE LIGHT REACTION

Light energy is used to make ATP.
Light energy is used to produce NADPH from NADP+.
Oxygen gas is produced as a by-product. This will leave the plant through the leaves or be used
by the plant for respiration.

THE DARK REACTION (THE CALVIN CYCLE)

The dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Unlike the light reaction, the dark
reaction is controlled by enzymes and therefore affected by temperature. The enzyme is ribulose
bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase(RUBISCO).
In this cycle ATP and NADPH, produced in the light reaction, provide the energy and electrons to change
carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbohydrates (C H O) molecules. Although this stage is called the dark reaction
it occurs in light and also in darkness as long as the products of the light phase are still available.
The dark reaction functions if ATP, NADPH and carbon dioxide are present. At the completion of
this stage ADP, Phosphorous, and NADP+ are recycled for use in the light reaction.

This diagram summarizes the Light and Dark reaction’ dependence on each other.
