Ch. 9--Photosynthesis I. Main energy molecule in a cell? ATP--adenosine triphosphate A. Made of: adenine ribose 3 phosphates B. Disconnecting ATP’s 3rd phosphate releases nrg, makes ADP (adenosine diphosphate)+ 1 phosphate ATP ADP + P + nrg 1. This reaction is what cells use to power Almost all nrg-requiring activities (Na+-K+ pump, moving cell parts, etc) BUT… ATP is NOT good for long-term nrg storage (you wouldn’t keep a million $ in cash at home) Glucose (C6H12O6)has 90x nrg of ATP, is easily converted into ATP Cells keep some ATP on hand, store rest of nrg in molecules like glucose WHERE DOES GLUCOSE COME FROM? 300 years ago, a Flemish doctor named Jan Van Helmont planted a young willow tree that weighed 2 kg in a pot. He put in 90 kg of dry soil and placed it in bright sunlight. He watered the plant as needed. 5 years later, he removed the tree from the pot and it weighed 77 kg. Where, specifically, did the extra 75 kg come from? A TREES START AS SEEDS THAT WEIGH LESS THAN A GRAM, AND BECOME TREES THAT CAN WEIGH TONS. WHERE SPECIFICALLY DOES THE MASS COME FROM ? Are you smarter than a Harvard graduate? (3:29) TREES ARE SOLAR POWERED MACHINES THAT TURN AIR INTO WOOD Photosynthesis--using sunlight, H2O, CO2 to build glucose (stored nrg) Equation: Nrg (sunlight) 6CO2+ 6H2O C6H12O6+ 6O2 ARE YOU STILL SMARTER THAN A HARVARD GRADUATE (3:15)? Requires chlorophyll: special pigment Has electrons excited easily by sunlight Happens in: II. Photosynthesis in the Chloroplast A. Two sets of reactions (rxns) 1. Light dependent rxns (require sunlight) 2. Light independent reactions (do not require sunlight)—aka the Calvin Cycle B. Structure of Chloroplast: 1. double membrane 2. THYLAKOIDS a. Green membranes containing chlorophyll b. Granum = stack of thylakoids c. Light dependent rxns happen here 3. STROMA—fluid grana float in a. Light independent rxns happen here NADPH=“The Babysitter” NADP+ can carry excited electrons (becoming NADPH)—this is stored nrg, like ATP’s 3rd phosphate In photosynthesis, it carries them from the light-dependent to the light-independent rxns (thylakoid-->stroma) Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate PHOTOSYNTHESIS OVERVIEW LI H 2O (FROM SOIL) CO2 (FROM AIR) G HT NADP+ EN ER GY ADP+P LIGHT- Granum DEPENDENT LIGHT-INDEPENDENT RXNS RXNS ATP NADPH These reactions Use sun +chlorophyll’s electrons to store nrg in ATP and NADPH O These 2 molecules 2 Carry nrg to power GLUCOSE This molecule is, like, the whole point (TO AIR) Light-indep. rxns THE LIGHT-DEPENDENT REACTIONS LIG LIG HT HT H+ ENE ENE H+ INSIDE H H THYLAKOID H+ H+ RGY + + RGY H+ H H + + H + H H+ + H+ H+ H+ H+ H+ PHOTO- PHOTO- H+ SYSTEM II SYSTEM I Chlorophyll Chlorophyll P700 ATP P680 NADP+ SYNTHASE NADPH 4e- 4H+ H+ ADP + P ATP O2 2H2O OUTSIDE THYLAKOID (SPLIT BY ENZYME) H + ATP SYNTHASE ANIMATION Released into TO LIGHT- atmosphere INDEPENDENT RXNS C.

Three sets of rxns: 1. Glycolysis 2. Krebs cycle 3. Electron transport chain II. Glycolysis A. Splits Glucose (6 C) into two pyruvic acids (3 C each) B. Requires 2 ATP C. Produces 4 ATP (net gain of 2), 2 NADH (another electron babysitter) D. All cells do it E. Does NOT require O2 F. Happens in cytoplasm 1. Reactants: glucose, 2ATP, 2NAD+, 4ADP + P 2.

The Electron Transport Chain A. The “treadmill” for high-nrg electrons donated from NADH and FADH2 B. “Jump” along chain of proteins, releasing nrg each step and pushing protons into intermembrane space C. ATP Synthase— “water wheel” thing that uses proton pressure to make ATP D. Generates 32 ATP for each glucose ETC continued F. To keep chain from getting backed up, something must remove electrons G.

Exercise and Human muscle cells A. First ~15-30 sec—stored ATP used. Easy! B. Next ~90 sec—anaerobic exercise--lactic acid fermentation—quick nrg 1. Lactic acid can only be removed by O2 2. Buildup causes sore muscles 3. Anaerobic training increases # of fibers, size, stored ATP/glucose C. Longer (aerobic) exercise—oxidative cell respiration 1. Slower pathway, but more efficient 2. Oxygen supply catches up with demand (incr. breathing, heartbeat) 3. Aerobic training increases amount of hemoglobin, blood vessels, mitochondria
