LB145 F11Thursday September 29, 2011 Class Outline • Photosynthesis • A Carrot (Eyes on the Prize) • Capturing Light • Using Light Energy to Do Work!
Evidence Supporting Endosymbiont Origin of Mitochondria and Chloroplasts • Chloroplast ribosomes are very similar to eubacterialribosomes • Chloroplast DNA sequences come out with bacterial DNA sequences in molecular phylogenies

Photosynthesis – Minute Paper(worth 1 point) • What is the relationship of the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis? In other words, what things are produced in each set of reactions, and how does one set of reactions depend on the other?
Photosynthesis – Connect the two halves!!! CO2 H2O Light NADP+ ADP + P i Calvin Cycle Light Reactions ATP NADPH Chloroplast [CH2O] (sugar) O2 Campbell 8e, Fig. 10-5-4
Photosynthesis – Minute Paper (Pt. 2)(worth1 more point) • What is the relationship of the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis? In other words, what things are produced in each set of reactions, and how does one set of reactions depend on the other? • How does a root cell, in a photosynthetic plant like a carrot, obtain food? How do these root cells use this food?
Photosynthesis • How does a cell at the growing point of a plant root get the energy it needs to grow and divide?

Plants make sugar in their leaves • How does a cell at the growing point of a plant root get the energy it needs to grow and divide?
Vascular Bundles • Phloem - All plant tissues need sugars made in photosynthetic tissue • Xylem - Stems and leaves need water and minerals from the roots
Sucrose from the leaves is shipped to the roots! • Phloem - sugar transport • There is phloem in the leaves • There is phloem in the stems • There is phloem in the roots
Think about the plant as a whole organism! • Where does it get made? • Where does it get used? • How does it get there?

Why sucrose? • ATP is a lousy transport form of energy!
Why sucrose? • ATP is a lousy transport form of energy! • ATP is a lousy storage form of energy!

PHOTOSYSTEM II (Feb 2004) Photosynthesis uses light energy to drive the oxidation of waterat an oxygen-evolving catalytic site within photosystem II (PSII).We report the structure of PSII of the cyanobacteriumThermosynechococcuselongatus at 3.5 Å resolution. We have assigned most ofthe amino acid residues of this 650 kDadimericmultisubunitcomplex and refined the structure to reveal its molecular architecture.Consequently we are able to describe details of the bindingsites for cofactors and propose a structure of the oxygen-evolvingcenter (OEC). The data strongly suggest that the OEC containsa cubane-like Mn3CaO4 cluster linked to a fourth Mn by a mono-µ-oxobridge. The details of the surrounding coordination sphere ofthe metal cluster and the implications for a possible oxygen-evolvingmechanism are discussed. Kristina N. Ferreira, Tina M.
