ATP  ADP + P releasing
energy in the 3rd phosphate
bond. This is a reversible
reaction:
ADP + P ATP
PHOTOSYNTHESIS OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 8-2

How would you
describe the
relationship
between
chlorophyll and the
color of plants?
EQ:
Photosynthesis
uses the energy
in sunlight and
carbon dioxide
from the air to
make glucose
and releases
oxygen into the
air.
Draw, color, label ,
and write caption
for figure 8-4 from
page 206 on page
65 of your
notebook
Pigments are also a
necessary part of
photosynthesis.
Pigment: any light
absorbing molecule
Chlorophyll:
principle pigment of
plants; absorbs light
energy
PHOTOSYNTHESIS REACTIONS
CHAPTER 8-3

EQ: What happens in the light reactions of
photosynthesis?
Inside a Chloroplast:
thylakoids: saclike
membrane folds;
appear like coins
granum: stack of
thylakoids
stroma: space
between granum
and inner
membrane
PHOTOSYSTEMS
• clusters of
pigments in
thylakoid
membrane that
capture energy
from light
•Photosystem I &
II
LIGHT REACTIONS

Use energy from light to excite
electrons. Electrons absorb
energy from light and go from
their ground state to their
excited state. These excited
electrons then jump out of that
atom & move through a series
of molecules called the
electron transport chain
NOTICE THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE THYLAKOID MEMBRANE
LIGHT REACTIONS: STEP 1



Photosynthesis begins when photons of
light are absorbed by pigments in
Photosystem II
Ground state electron  excited
electrons enter electron transport chain
The electrons that left must be
replaced: Enzymes breakdown 2 water
 4H+ + O2 + 4 electrons
LIGHT REACTIONS: STEP 2
The excited electrons move thru the
electron transport chain to
Photosystem I
 Their energy is used to move H+ from
the stroma to inner thylakoid space

Light Reactions: Step 3
( in Photosystem I now)

 One
of the electron carrier
molecules is NADP+
 NADP+
carries 2 excited electrons
with a H+
 In the process NADP+ 
NADPH thus converting some of
the light energy into chemical
energy
 NADPH carries excited electrons
to other molecules
LIGHT REACTIONS: STEP 4
Over time the inside of the thylakoid
membrane fills with H+ making the
outside of the membrane relatively
negative compared to the inside
(creating a difference in charge across
the membrane)
 The difference in charges provides
energy to make ATP

LIGHT REACTIONS: STEP 5
The thylakoid membrane is impermeable
to H+
 Membrane protein called ATP synthase
allows H+ to pass through membrane
 As H+ is passing through ATP synthase
changes shape & in the process binds
ADP + P  ATP
