  1. Lesson Overview 8.2 Photosynthesis: An Overview

  2. THINK ABOUT IT • How would you design a system to capture the energy of sunlight and convert it into a useful form? • Plants have solved these issues—and maybe we can learn a trick or two from them.

  3. Light • Energy from the sun travels to Earth in the form of __________. • Sunlight is a mixture of different ____________, many of which are visible to our eyes and make up the ______________.

  4. Light • Our eyes see the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum as different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

  5. Pigments • Plants gather the sun’s energy with light-absorbing molecules called __________. • The plants’ principal pigment is ________________.

  6. Pigments • The two types of chlorophyll found in plants, ___________and ____________, absorb light very well in the blue-violet and red regions of the visible spectrum, but not in the green region, as shown in the graph. • Leaves ________ green light, which is why plants look green.

  7. Pigments • Plants also contain red and orange pigments such as _________ that absorb light in other regions of the spectrum.

  8. Pigments • Most of the time, the green color of the chlorophyll overwhelms the other pigments, but as _____________ drop and chlorophyll molecules break down, the red and orange pigments may be seen.

  9. Chloroplasts • Photosynthesis takes place inside organelles called ________________. • Chloroplasts contain saclike photosynthetic membranes called _____________, which are interconnected and arranged in stacks known as ____________.

  10. Chloroplasts • Pigments are located in the thylakoid ___________. • The fluid portion outside of the thylakoids is known as the ___________.

  11. Energy Collection • Because light is a form of ________, any compound that absorbs light absorbs energy. Chlorophyll absorbs visible light especially well. • When chlorophyll absorbs light, a large fraction of the light energy is transferred to __________. These high-energy electrons make photosynthesis work.

  12. High-Energy Electrons • The high-energy electrons produced by chlorophyll are highly reactive and require a special “__________.”

  13. High-Energy Electrons • Think of a high-energy electron as being similar to a hot potato. If you wanted to move the potato from one place to another, you would use an oven mitt—a ________—to transport it. • Plants use electron carriers to _________ high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other ____________.

  14. High-Energy Electrons • ________(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a carrier molecule. • NADP+ accepts and holds ____ high-energy electrons, along with a ________________(H+). In this way, it is converted into ______. • The NADPH can then carry the high-energy electrons to _______________________elsewhere in the cell.

  15. An Overview of Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high-energy _____________ and ______________. • In symbols: • In words:

  16. An Overview of Photosynthesis • Plants use the ______ generated by photosynthesis to produce _________________________ such as starches, and to provide energy for the synthesis of other compounds, including ________ and ______.

  17. Light-Dependent Reactions • Photosynthesis involves two sets of reactions. • The first set of reactions is known as the _______ ___________________ because they require the direct involvement of light and light-absorbing pigments.

  18. Light-Dependent Reactions • The light-dependent reactions use energy from sunlight to produce ______ and _________. • These reactions take place within the __________ membranes of the chloroplast.

  19. Light-Dependent Reactions • _______ is required as a source of electrons and hydrogen ions. ________ is released as a byproduct.

  20. Light-Independent Reactions • Plants absorb ________________from the atmosphere and complete the process of photosynthesis by producing ________ and other ________________. • During ______________________________, ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide.

  21. Light-Independent Reactions • ___ _____is required to power the light-independent reactions. • The light-independent reactions take place outside the thylakoids, in the __________.
