UNIT 5: Photosynthesis and
Respiration
BIG IDEA: Energy is produced and
released by making and breaking
chemical bonds
Think About It:
• With your partner, come up
with a list of activities that you
do that requires energy
• What gives us energy?
Energy
• Directly or indirectly , all energy in living
things comes from the sun
Obtaining Energy
• Autotrophs
• Organisms that are capable of
making food (energy) from
simple inorganic substances
• EX: green plants, algae
Two Types of Autotrophs
• 1. Photoautotrophs: use carbon
dioxide and light energy to
drive reactions needed to make
food
Next type…
• 2. Chemoautotrophs: utilize
inorganic chemicals for the
energy to drive food making
reactions
Obtaining Energy
• Heterotrophs
• Organisms that cannot make their
own food (energy) and must
depend on other plants or animals
as food source (energy)
• Examples: Humans, dogs, cats
Photosynthesis
• Process of capturing energy of
sunlight and transforming it
into chemical energy
• CO2 + H2O----glucose + O2
Photosynthesis
• Two stages
– Light reactions- light energy is
converted into chemical energy of
two intermediate molecules
– Calvin cycle-Organic molecules are
formed from CO2
Photosynthesis
• Sunlight, sometimes called white
light, is a form of energy that
travels in waves
• Wavelength: the distance between
the crest of one wave and the crest
of the next wave
Visible Light Spectrum
•
•
•
•
•
•
Depends on wavelength
Blue: 380 (nm)
Green: 500 (nm)
Yellow 560 (nm)
Light red: 600 (nm)
Darker red: 750 (nm)
Photosynthesis
• Pigments: absorb light
• EX: a red object absorbs all the visible
colors of the spectrum except red
which is reflected and gives the object
the red color
Types of Photosynthetic Pigments
a. Chlorophylls: absorb red and blue
light, appear green
b. Carotenes: absorb blue, appear
orange
c. Xanthophylls: appear yellow, may not
be used to absorb light
The color of an egg yolk
is from the xanthophyll
carotenoids lutein and
zeaxanthin
• The color of an egg yolk is from the
xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and
zeaxanthin
CHLOROPLAST
• Site of Photosynthesis
PARTS OF THE CHLOROPLAST
Inner and outer membrane
Thylakoids
Grana
Stroma
Parts of the Chloroplast
• Thylakoid- Membrane of the
thylakoid contains
photosynthetic pigments;
flattened sacs
• Site of the light reactions
Parts of the Chloroplast
• Grana- Stacks of thylakoids
• Stroma-Region b/t grana
– Site of the light independent
reactions
Photosynthesis Reactions
• Light Dependent Reactions-energy from
light makes the reaction happen
• Light Independent Reactions- Doesn’t need
the energy from light to make the reaction
happen but they do need products of the
light reaction to proceed.
Steps in Light Dependent
Light Dependent Reactions- In the
Chloroplast
•
Pigments in the photosynthetic
membranes absorb light (pigments are
located in Photosystem I & II
•
When the light hits the chlorophyll in
Photosystem II the electrons become
excited and jump up.
•
The electrons are captured by the
electron transport chain.
•
We need to replace the electrons that are
lost so we steal some from water . This
breaks the water molecule apart forming
H+ and O
•
As we transport electrons
down the chain we use
their energy to produce
ATP
•
The electrons now go to
Photosystem I and it loses
electrons to NADP+ to
make it NADPH.
The final products of the light
reaction
•
At the end of the light reaction we have
made
1. NADPH
2. ATP
3. O2
Reactants used during the light
reaction
• Water
• Also used sunlight
Light independent reaction
( Calvin Cycle)
• A. Use CO2 , ATP, NADPH
• B. Uses products from light reaction (Light
is not necessary for this reaction)
• C. Location stroma
Steps in Light Independent
Reaction:
• 6 CO2 reacts with the sugar, ribulose phophate
(RuBP)sugar called phosphoglycerate (PGA)
• PGA12 phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL)
• NADPH and ATP from light reaction provide
energy for this step
Steps in Light Independent Reaction
(con’t)
• PGAL does 2 things:
a. Makes more RuBP to continue cycle
(requires 10 PGAL to do this)
b. Form 1 glucose (requires 2 PGAL)

Four main types:
Light intensity
Temperature
Water
Mineral availability
Cellular Respiration
• Release of the
energy stored in
food
• Occurs in the
inside of the cells
of both autotrophs
and heterotrophs
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
• Energy released during cellular
respiration is stored as ATP
• Consists of
adenine, ribose
and three
phosphates
How is energy stored in ATP?
• Energy is stored in the bonds. Once a
bond breaks (causing ATP to lose a
phosphate group), there is a release of
energy.
Release of Energy
Adenosine diphosphate or (ADP)
• Two phosphate groups, adenine,
and ribose
• Where would the energy be in ADP
Two Types of Cellular
Respiration
Aerobic Respiration:
• Occurs in presence of oxygen
• Occurs in the mitochondria
• Produces about 36 ATP
Second Type of Cellular
Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration:
• Occurs without oxygen
• Occurs in the cytoplasm
• Produces 2 ATP
Which type of cellular respiration is
more efficient?
• Aerobic because it produces
more ATP (more energy)
Two types of Anaerobic
Respiration:
• 1. Alcoholic Fermentation: yeast
produces alcohol
• 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation: muscles
produces lactic acid when they don’t
have enough oxygen
What is the equation for cellular
respiration?
GLUCOSE+ 6O26 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (36
ATP)
What is the relationship between
photosynthesis and cellular
respiration?
• Opposite reactions
• Let’s write the two reactions to see
