  1. How Many Plants Would it Take to Keep You Alive?

  2. CO2 Diffusion in a Leaf

  3. Photosynthetic Electron Transport The “Light” Reactions ATP 6NADPH ADP H+ Stroma 6NADP+ 12H+ Cyt b6f 12e- PSII ATPase 12e- PSI H+ 12H+ 3 O2 Lumen 6H2O 12H+

  5. CO2 Sugars Calvin Cycle CO2 Uptake Produces Sugars ADP NADP+ Photosynthesis, Our Life Support System! ATP NADPH H+ 4H+ Light Reactions Splits H2O O2 Production NADPH and ATP 8H+ 4H+ O2 H2O 4H+

  6. The Greenhouse Effect Put To Good Use ! atmosphere Infrared light detector Infrared light Source air flow

  7. Measuring Water Vapor • Relative Humidity (%) • Partial Pressure (kPa) • Mole Fraction (ppt) • Dew Point (°C)

  8. Photometric Sensor Quantum Sensor Units: Lux or Footcandles Units: µmol m-2 s-1 or µE m-2s-1 Measuring Irradiance PAR = Photosynthetically Active Radiation 400 – 700 nm PPFD = Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density, also called Quantum Flux

  9. Conditions to Measure Photosynthesis At • What Factors Could influence the Photosynthetic rate of the plant? • What conditions are the most realistic for how our life support plants will be growing and photosynthesizing

  10. LI-COR 6400
