An electron is excited by sunlight, and the energy is used to make ATP. The electron is returned to the photosystem….CYCLIC PHOSPHORYLATION.

e- acceptor
e- ADP+P
ATP
NADP NADPH
The electron can be passed to NADP, reducing NADP to NADP- (+H+)
![Page 12: PHOTOSYNTHESIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815475550346895dc28bfa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

e- ADP+P
ATP
NADP NADPH
The electron can be passed to NADP, reducing NADP to NADP- (+H+)
IF this happens, the electron is NOT recycled back to PSI.
For the process to continue, an electron must be stripped from another molecule and transferred to the PS to be excited by sunlight…
![Page 13: PHOTOSYNTHESIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815475550346895dc28bfa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

IF this happens, the electron is NOT recycled back to PSI.
For the process to continue, an electron must be stripped from another molecule and transferred to the PS to be exited by sunlight… H2S 2e + 2H+ + S
The Photosystem is more electronegative than H2S, and can strip electrons from this molecule – releasing sulphur gas….
![Page 14: PHOTOSYNTHESIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815475550346895dc28bfa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

So, through these reactions, both ATP and NADPH are produced; sulphur gas is released as a waste product. These organisms are limited to living in an environment with H2S!!! (Sulphur springs).
![Page 15: PHOTOSYNTHESIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815475550346895dc28bfa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

If photosynthesis could evolve to strip electrons from a more abundant electron donor, life could expand from these limited habitats… hmmm…. H2S…. H2S….

A molecule of CO2 binds to Ribulose biphosphate, making a 6-carbon molecule. This molecule is unstable, and splits into 2 3-carbon molecules of phosphoglycerate (PGA)

A History of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis evolved early; at least 3.8 bya – bacterial mats like these stromatolites date to that age, and earlier microfossils exist that look like cyanobacteria. Also, CO2 levels drop (Calvin cycle + dissolved in rain)

A History of Photosynthesis
What kind of photosynthesis was this???
Cyclic phosphorylation and Sulphur photosynthesis, because it was non-oxygenic.

A History of Photosynthesis
And 2.3 bya is when we see the oldest banded iron formations, demonstrating for the first time that iron crystals were exposed to atmospheric oxygen during sedimentation.

Carboniferous: 354-290 myaThis is the period when our major deposits of fossil fuel were laid down as biomass that did NOT decompose. So, that carbon was NOT returned to the atmosphere as CO2…lots of photosynthesis and less decomposition means a decrease in CO2 and an increase in O2 in the atmosphere…

IV. Protein Synthesis
Why is this important?
Well…what do proteins DO?
Think about it this way:
1)sugars, fats, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins, themselves, are broken down and built up through chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. 2)So everything a cell IS, and everything it DOES, is either done by proteins or is done by molecules put together by proteins.

intronexon exon
Initial RNA PRODUCT:
Introns are spliced out, and exons are spliced together. Sometimes these reactions are catalyzed by the intron, itself, or other catalytic RNA molecules called “ribozymes”.

Final RNA PRODUCT:
This final RNA may be complexed with proteins to form a ribosome (if it is r-RNA), or it may bind amino acids (if it is t-RNA), or it may be read by a ribosome, if it is m-RNA and a recipe for a protein.

It then reads down the m-RNA, one base at a time, until an ‘AUG’ sequence (start codon) is positioned in the first reactive site.

Some 3-base codon have no corresponding t-RNA. These are stop codons, because translocation does not add an amino acid; rather, it ends the chain.

Most initial proteins need to be modified to be functional. Most need to have the methionine cleaved off; others have sugar, lipids, nucleic acids, or other proteins are added.

1. Regulation of Transcription
- DNA bound to histones can’t be accessed by RNA Polymerase - but the location of histones changes, making genes accessible (or inaccessible)
Initially, the orange gene is “off”, and the green gene is “on”
Now the orange gene is “on” and the green gene is “off”.
