4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• The equation for the overall process is:
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
The first stage of photosynthesis captures and transfers energy.
• The light-dependent reactions include groups of molecules called photosystems.

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• Photosystem II captures and transfers energy.
– chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight
– energized electrons enter electron transport chain
– water molecules are split
– oxygen is released as waste
– hydrogen ions are transported across thylakoid membrane

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• Photosystem I captures energy and produces energy-carrying molecules.
– chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight
– energized electrons are used to make NADPH
– NADPH is transferred to light-independent reactions
– hydrogen ions are transported through the ATP synthase helping ADP to bind to p creating ATP.

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• The light-dependent reactions produce ATP.
– hydrogen ions flow through a channel in the thylakoid membrane
– ATP synthase attached to the channel makes ATP

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• Light-independent reactions occur in the stroma and use CO2 molecules.
The second stage of photosynthesis uses energy from the first stage to make sugars.

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
• A molecule of glucose is formed as it stores some of the energy captured from sunlight.
– carbon dioxide molecules enter the Calvin cycle and is added to a five carbon molecule.
– energy is added and carbon molecules are rearranged– a high-energy three-carbon molecule leaves the cycle

4.3 Photosynthesis in Detail
– two three-carbon molecules bond to form a sugar
– remaining molecules stay in the cycle
• A molecule of glucose is formed as it stores some of the energy captured from sunlight.
