WHYWHY ARE ARE PLA PLANTS NTS GREGREEN?EN?
Plant Cells have Green Chloroplasts
The thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast is impregnated with photosynthetic pigments (i.e., chlorophylls, carotenoids).

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts
In most plants, photosynthesis occurs primarily in the leaves, in the chloroplasts
A chloroplast contains: stroma, a fluid grana, stacks of thylakoids
The thylakoids contain chlorophyllChlorophyll is the green pigment that captures
light for photosynthesis
![Page 7: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• The Calvin cycle makes sugar from carbon dioxide– ATP generated by the light
reactions provides the energy for sugar synthesis
– The NADPH produced by the light reactions provides the electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose

(ATP and NADPH drive the reduction
of CO2 to C6H12O6.)

Light Independent Reactions
aka Calvin CycleCO2 is added to the 5-C sugar RuBP by the
enzyme rubisco.This unstable 6-C compound splits to two
molecules of PGA or 3-phosphoglyceric acid.
PGA is converted to Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), two of which bond to form glucose.
G3P is the 3-C sugar formed by three turns of the cycle.

PhotorespirationWhen Rubisco reacts with O2 instead of
CO2
Occurs under the following conditions:Intense Light (high O2 concentrations)High heat
Photorespiration is estimated to reduce photosynthetic efficiency by 25%
![Page 37: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why high heat?When it is hot, plants close their stomata
to conserve waterThey continue to do photosynthesis use
up CO2 and produce O2 creates high O2 concentrations inside the plant photorespiration occurs
![Page 38: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Leaf AnatomyIn C3 plants (those that do C3
photosynthesis), all processes occur in the mesophyll cells.
Mesophyll cells
Bundle sheath cells

C4 PathwayIn C4 plants
photosynthesis occurs in both the mesophyll and the bundle sheath cells.
![Page 41: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
C4 PathwayCO2 is fixed into a 4-
carbon intermediate Has an extra enzyme–
PEP Carboxylase that initially traps CO2 instead of Rubisco– makes a 4 carbon intermediate
![Page 42: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
C4 PathwayThe 4 carbon
intermediate is “smuggled” into the bundle sheath cell
The bundle sheath cell is not very permeable to CO2
CO2 is released from the 4C malate goes through the Calvin Cycle
C3 Pathway
![Page 43: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How does the C4 Pathway limit photorespiration?
Bundle sheath cells are far from the surface– less O2 access
PEP Carboxylase doesn’t have an affinity for O2 allows plant to collect a lot of CO2 and concentrate it in the bundle sheath cells (where Rubisco is)
![Page 44: PHOTOSYNTHESIS anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) light energy (photons) water (H 2 O)organic macromolecules (glucose).An anabolic, endergonic,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5a4d1b5f7f8b9ab0599acb9c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CAM PathwayFix CO2 at night and
store as a 4 carbon molecule
Keep stomates closed during day to prevent water loss
Same general process as C4 Pathway

How does the CAM Pathway limit photorespiration?Collects CO2 at night so that it can be
more concentrated during the dayPlant can still do the calvin cycle during
the day without losing water
