Carbon enters the Calvin cycle in ____ and leaves in ___. The cycle spends ____ as an ____ and consumes ____ as ____ power for ____s to make ____. As mentioned in Concept 8.1, the carbohydrate produced directly from the Calvin cycle is not ___. It is actually a ___). For net synthesis of one molecule of ____, the cycle must take place ____, fixing ____ . (Recall that the term carbon fixation refers to the _____ into_____l.) As we trace the steps of the Calvin cycle, keep in mind that we are following _____ through the reactions.

Carbon enters the Calvin cycle in CO2 and leaves in sugar. The cycle spends ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH as reducing power for adding high-energy electrons to make sugar . As mentioned in Concept 8.1, the carbohydrate produced directly from the Calvin cycle is not glucose. It is actually a three-carbon sugar named glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). For net synthesis of one molecule of G3P, the cycle must take place three times, fixing three molecules of CO,-one per turn of the cycle. (Recall that the term carbon fixation refers to the initial incorporation of CO, into organic material.) As we trace the steps of the Calvin cycle, keep in mind that we are following three molecules of CO, through the reactions.

In the Scientific Skills Exercise, you will work with data to see how different concen- trations of CO, affect growth in plants that use the C, pathway versus those that use the C, pathway. A second photosynthetic adaptation to arid conditions has evolved in___,____,____, AND many ____plants, such as aloe and jade plants These plants ___ and ____, the reverse of how other plants behave. Closing ___during the ____helps ___, but it also ____ During the night, when____, these plants ____. This mode of carbon fixation is called ____ after the plant family ____, the succulents in which the process was first discovered. The ____of CAM plants store the ____ they make during the____ in their ____until morning, when the ____ During the day, when the light reac- tions can supply ____ and ____ for the ___, ____ is released from the ____s made the night before to become incorporated into ____ in the chloroplasts. The CAM pathway is similar to the C4 pathway in that ___ is first ____ into _____ before it enters the Calvin cycle. The differ- ence is that in C4 plants, the initial steps of carbon fixation are _____ from the ____whereas in CAM plants, the two steps occur ____ but at___s. Keep in mind that CAM, C4, and C3 plants all ____ to make ___ from _____.) In this chapter, we have followed photosynthesis from _ to _. The light reactions _____and use it to make ____ and transfer electrons from ____ to ____*, forming _____. The Calvin cycle uses the ___ and ___ to produce __ from ____.

In the Scientific Skills Exercise, you will work with data to see how different concen- trations of C02 affect growth in plants that use the C4 pathway versus those that use the C3 pathway. A second photosynthetic adaptation to arid conditions has evolved in pineapples, many cacti, and other succulent (water- storing) plants, such as aloe and jade plants These plants open their stomata during the night and close them during the day, the reverse of how other plants behave. Closing stomata during the day helps desert plants conserve water, but it also prevents CO, from entering the leaves. During the night, when their stomata are open, these plants take up CO, and incorporate it into a variety of organic acids. This mode of carbon fixation is called crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) after the plant family Crassulaceae, the succulents in which the process was first discovered. The mesophyll cells of CAM plants store the organic acids they make during the night in their vacuoles until morning, when the stomata close. During the day, when the light reac- tions can supply ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle, CO, is released from the organic acids made the night before to become incorporated into sugar in the chloroplasts. The CAM pathway is similar to the C, pathway in that carbon dioxide is first incorporated into or- ganic intermediates before it enters the Calvin cycle. The differ- ence is that in C4 plants, the initial steps of carbon fixation are separated structurally from the Calvin cycle, whereas in CAM plants, the two steps occur within the same cell but at separate times . (Keep in mind that CAM, C4, and C, plants all eventually use the Calvin cycle to make sugar from carbon dioxide.) In this chapter, we have followed photosynthesis from pho- tons to food. The light reactions capture solar energy and use it to make ATP and transfer electrons from water to NADP*, forming NADPH. The Calvin cycle uses the ATP and NADPH to produce sugar from carbon dioxide.

. A considerable amount of sugar in the form of glu- cose is linked together to make the polysaccharide cellulose (see e 3.11c), especially in plant cells that are still growing and maturing. Cellulose, the main ingredient of cell walls, is the most abundant organic molecule in the plant- and probably on the surface of the planet. Most plants and other photosynthesizers manage to make more organic material each day than they need to use as respi- ratory fuel and precursors for biosynthesis. They stockpile the extra sugar by synthesizing starch, storing some in the chlo- roplasts themselves and some in storage cells of roots, tubers, seeds, and fruits. In accounting for the consumption of the food molecules produced by photosynthesis, let's not forget that most plants lose leaves, roots, stems, fruits, and some- times their entire bodies to heterotrophs, including humans. On a global scale, photosynthesis is responsible for the c e oxy- gen in our atmosphere. Furthermore, while each chloroplast is minuscule, their collective food production is prodigious: Photosynthesis makes an estimated 150 billion metric tons of carbohydrate per year (a metric ton is 1,000 kg, about 1.1 tons). No chemical process is more important than photosynthesis to the welfare of life on Earth.

CALVIN CYCLE Phase 1: The first phase is______. The Calvin cycle incorpo- rates each ____by attaching it to a ___-____ ____ named _____ (ab- breviated _____). The enzyme that catalyzes this first step is _________, or ____. (This is the most ____ in chloroplasts and is also thought to be the most ____ on ____.) The product of the reaction is a ____ so ____ that it immediately ___ in ____, forming two molecules of ____ Phase 2: _____. Each molecule of _____receives an _____ from ____, be- coming _____Next, a pair of ____ donated from ____ reduces _____, which also ____, becoming ______. Specifi- cally, the electrons from ____ reduce a ___ group on 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to the __ group of ____, which stores more ___ ___ . G3P is a ______-the same _ sugar formed in __ by the split- ting of glucose. For every ___ molecules of CO2 that enter the cycle, there are ____ molecules of __ formed. But only ____ of this three-carbon sugar can be ___ as a ____ of carbo- hydrate, because the rest are ____. The cycle began with _____. Now there are ___ carbons' worth of carbohydrate in the form of ____. One molecule exits the cycle to be ____ by the _____ cell, but the other ___ molecules must be ___ to __ the ___ molecules of ____. __

Phase 1: Carbon fixation. The Calvin cycle incorpo- rates each CO, molecule, one at a time, by attaching it to a five-carbon sugar named ribulose bisphosphate (ab- breviated RuBP). The enzyme that catalyzes this first step is RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase, or rubisco. (This is the most abundant protein in chloroplasts and is also thought to be the most abundant protein on Earth.) The product of the reaction is a six-carbon intermediate so unstable that it immediately splits in half, forming two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (for each CO, fixed). Phase 2: Reduction. Each molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate receives an additional phosphate group from ATP, be- coming 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Next, a pair of electrons donated from NADPH reduces 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, which also loses a phosphate group, becoming G3P. Specifi- cally, the electrons from NADPH reduce a carboyxl group on 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to the aldehyde group of G3P, which stores more potential energy. G3P is a sugar-the same three-carbon sugar formed in glycolysis by the split- ting of glucose (see Figure 7.9). Notice in Figure 8.17 that for every three molecules of CO, that enter the cycle, there are six molecules of G3P formed. But only one molecule of this three-carbon sugar can be counted as a net gain of carbo- hydrate, because the rest are required to complete the cycle. The cycle began with 15 carbons' worth of carbohydrate in the form of three molecules of the five-carbon sugar RuBP. Now there are 18 carbons' worth of carbohydrate in the form of six molecules of G3P. One molecule exits the cycle to be used by the plant cell, but the other five molecules must be recycled to regenerate the three molecules of RUBP.

Phase 3: Regeneration of the ____ ). In a complex series of reactions, the carbon skeletons of five molecules of ____ are ____ by the last steps of the s of Calvin cycle into ___ molecules of ____. To accomplish this, the cycle spends ____ more ____. The RUBP is now ____ to receive ____ again, and the cycle continues. For the net synthesis of one G3P molecule, the Calvin cycle consumes a total of ____ molecules of ____ and__ __ molecules of ____. The light reactions regenerate the ___ and ____. The G3P spun off from the Calvin cycle becomes the ______(from two molecules of ___) and other ____. Neither the light reactions nor the Calvin cycle alone can make ____,. Photosynthesis is ____ property of the ____which integrates the two stages of photosynthesis. Ever since plants first moved onto land about 475 million years ago, they have been adapting to the problem of ____. Solutions require trade offs. An example is the balance between __ and ___ The ____, required for pho- tosynthesis enters a leaf (and the resulting ____ exits) via ___, the ____ However, ___ are also the main avenues of the ____ ___ of ____ from ____ and may be partially or fully ____ on ___s. This prevents ____, but also ____ , In most plants, initial fixation of carbon occurs via Such plants are called ___ plants because the first or- ganic product of carbon fixation is a ____ C3 plants include im- portant ____ plants such as ___,___,___ns. When their stomata close on hot, dry days, C3 plants produce ____ bc of ⭐️ In addition, rubisco is capable of ___ ___, in place of ___. As ___ becomes scarce and ___ builds up, rubisco ___to the Calvin cycle instead of ___. the product ___, forming a ___ compound that ___ the ___ and is ___n in the cell, releasing ___, ⭐️ The process is called ____ because it occurs in the ___and ____while producing ____, (___). However, unlike normal cell reps, ____ uses ___ rather than generating it. And unlike photosynthesis, photores- piration _____ In fact, photorespiration decreases _______ by siphoning ____al from the Calvin cycle and releasing ____, that would otherwise be ___.

Phase 3: Regeneration of the CO, acceptor (RuBP). In a complex series of reactions, the carbon skeletons of five molecules of G3P are rearranged by the last steps of the s of Calvin cycle into three molecules of RuBP. To accomplish this, the cycle spends three more ATPS. The RUBP is now prepared to receive CO, again, and the cycle continues. For the net synthesis of one G3P molecule, the Calvin cycle consumes a total of nine molecules of ATP and six molecules of NADPH. The light reactions regenerate the ATP and NADPH. The G3P spun off from the Calvin cycle becomes the starting material for metabolic pathways that synthesize other organic compounds, including glucose (from two molecules of G3P) and other carbohydrates. Neither the light reactions nor the Calvin cycle alone can make sugar from CO,. Photosyn- emergent property of the intact chloroplast, which thesis is an integrates the two stages of photosynthesis. Ever since plants first moved onto land about 475 million years ago, they have been adapting to the problem of dehydration. The solutions often involve trade-offs. An example is the balance between photosynthesis and the prevention of excessive water loss from the plant. The CO, required for pho- tosynthesis enters a leaf (and the resulting 0, exits) via stomata, the pores on the leaf surface However, stomata are also the main avenues of the evaporative loss of water from leaves and may be partially or fully closed on hot, dry days. water loss, but it also reduces CO, levels In most plants, initial fixation of carbon occurs via rubisco, the Calvin cycle enzyme that adds CO, to ribulose bisphos- Sa lear phate. Such plants are called C3 plants because the first or- ganic product of carbon fixation is a three-carbon compound, 3-phosphoglycerate (see Figure 8.17). C3 plants include im- portant agricultural plants such as rice, wheat, and soybeans. When their stomata close on hot, dry days, C, plants produce less sugar because the declining level of CO, in the leaf starves the Calvin cycle. In addition, rubisco is capable of binding O, in place of CO. As CO, becomes scarce and O, builds up, rubisco adds O, to the Calvin cycle instead of CO,. The product splits, forming a two-carbon compound that leaves the chloroplast and is broken down in the cell, releasing CO2 The process is called photorespiration because it occurs in the light (photo) and consumes O, while producing CO, (respiration). However, unlike normal cellular respiration, photorespiration uses ATP rather than generating it. And unlike photosynthesis, photores- piration produces no sugar. In fact, photorespiration decreases photosynthetic output by siphoning organic material from the Calvin cycle and releasing CO, that would otherwise be fixed.

Phorespiration is evolutionary ____- a metabolic ____from a much earlier time when the atmosphere had ____ and ____ than it does today. In THE ANCIENT ATMOSPHERE THAT PREVAILED WHEN____ FIRST evolved, the ability of the ____ to bind ____ would have made little difference. The hypothesis suggests that modern rubisco retains some of its ____ for ___ which is now so concentrated in the atmosphere that ____is inevitable. There is also some evidence that _____ may provide protection against ____ products of the _____ that build up when the Cal- vin cycle ____ due to ____. In some plant species, alternate modes of _____ have evolved that minimize _____ and optimize the ____-even in ____,____ climates.

Thus, the CO2 concentration in these cells ____for the Calvin cycle to _____ and avoid _____ The C4 pathway is believed to have_____ at least 45 times and is used by several thousand species in at least 19 plant families. Among the C4 plants important to agriculture are ___ and ___< members of the _____

baggage, relic , less O2, more CO2 In THE ANCIENT ATMOSPHERE THAT PREVAILED WHEN RUBISCO FIRST evolved, the ability of the enzymes first active site to bind O2 would have made little difference. The hypothesis suggests that modern rubisco retains some of its chance affinity for O2 which is now so concentrated in the atmosphere that a certain amount of photorespiration is inevitable. There is also some evidence that photorespiration may provide protection against damag- ing products of the light reactions that build up when the Cal- vin cycle slows due to low CO2 In some plant species, alternate modes of carbon fixation have evolved that minimize photorespiration and optimize the 10 Calvin cycle-even in hot, arid climates. The two most impor- tant of these photosynthetic adaptations are C4 photosynthesis and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The C4 plants are so named because they carry out a modi- fied pathway for sugar synthesis that first fixes CO, into a four-carbon compound. When the weather is hot and dry, a C4 plant partially closes its stomata, thus conserving water. Sugar continues to be made, however, through the function of two different types of photosynthetic cells: mesophyll cells and bundle-sheath cells (Figure 8.18a). An enzyme in the meso- phyll cells has a high affinity for CO, and can fix carbon even when the CO, concentration in the leaf is low. The resulting four-carbon compound then acts as a carbon shuttle; it moves into bundle-sheath cells, which are packed around the veins of the leaf, and releases CO2 Thus, the CO2 concentration in these cells remains high enough for the Calvin cycle to make sugars and avoid photorespiration. The C4 pathway is believed to have evolved independently at least 45 times and is used by several thousand species in at least 19 plant families. Among the C4 plants important to agriculture are sugarcane and corn (maize), members of the grass family.

light en- ergy to generate ATP and NADPH, the two main products of the light reaction Light drives the synthesis of ATP and NADPH by energizing the two photosystems embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts flow of electrons through the photosystems and other molecular components built into the thylakoid membrane. linear electron flow, and it occurs during the light reactions of photosynthesis 1.) A photon of light strikes one of the pigment molecules in a light-harvesting complex of PS II, boosting one of its electrons to a higher energy level. As this electron falls back to its ground state, an electron in a nearby pigment molecule is simultaneously raised to an excited state. The process continues, with the energy being relayed to other pigment molecules until it reaches the P680 pair of chlo- rophyll a molecules in the PS II reaction-center complex. It excites an electron in this pair of chlorophylls to a higher energy state. 2.)This electron is transferred from the excited P680 to the primary electron acceptor. We can refer to the resulting form of P680, missing an electron, as P680*. 3.)An enzyme catalyzes the splitting of a water molecule into two electrons, two hydrogen ions (H*), and an oxy- gen atom. The electrons are supplied one by one to the P680* pair, each electron replacing one transferred to the primary electron acceptor. (P680* is the strongest biolog- oxidizing agent known; its electron "hole" must be filled. This greatly facilitates the transfer of electrons from the split water molecule.) The H* are released into the thylakoid space. The oxygen atom immediately combines with an oxygen atom generated by the splitting of another water molecule, forming O2 O Each photoexcited electron passes from the primary elec- tron acceptor of PS II to PS I via an electron transport chain, the components of which are similar to those of the electron transport chain that functions in cellular respira- tion. The electron transport chain between PS II and PS I made up of the electron carrier plastoquinone (Pq), a cyto- chrome complex, and a protein called plastocyanin (Pc). The exergonic "fall" of electrons to a lower energy level provides energy for the synthesis of ATP. As electrons pass through the cytochrome complex, H* are pumped into the thylakoid space, contributing to the proton gradi- ent that is then used in chemiosmosis, to be discussed shortly. O Meanwhile, light energy has been transferred via light- harvesting complex pigments to the PS I reaction-center complex, exciting an electron of the P700 pair of chloro- phyll a molecules located there. The photoexcited electron is then transferred to PS I's primary electron acceptor, cre- ating an electron "hole" in the P700-which we now can call P700*. In other words, P700* can now act as an electron acceptor, accepting an electron that reaches the bottom of the electron transport chain from PS II.

light reactions (the photo part of photosynthesis) and the Calvin cycle (the synthesis part) con- vert solar energy to chemical energy. Water is split, providing a source of electrons and protons (hydrogen ions, H*) and giving off O2 as a by-product. chlorophyll drives a transfer of the electrons and hydrogen ions from water to an acceptor called NADP* (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), where they are temporarily stored. nadp+ is first cousin to NAD*, which functions as an electron carrier in cellular respiration; the two molecules differ only by the presence of an extra phosphate group NADP* molecule. re duce NADP* to NADPH by adding a pair of electrons along with an H*.

P680 and P700, are nearly identical chlorophyll a molecules. However, their association with different proteins in the thylakoid membrane affects the electron distribution in the two pigments and accounts for the slight differences in their light-absorbing properties

The proton (_____) or ____, across the ____ membrane is substantial. When chloroplasts in an experimental setting are illuminated, the pH in the ____ drops to about __ (the ____ ____), and the ___ in the _____ to about ___ (the _____ ____). This gradient of three pH units corresponds to a ___ difference in H+ concentration. If the lights are turned off, the _____t is ___, but it can quickly be restored by ___ the ___ ____ ___. Experiments such as this provided strong evidence in support of the ____ model. Each of the molecules and molecular complexes in the figure is _____ in ____ . Notice that NADPH, like ATP, is produced on the ____ facing the ___, where the ____ take place. Let's summarize the light reactions. Electron ___ pushes electrons from ___, where they are at a_____ ultimately to ___, where they are stored at a ______. The ____ electron flow also ____. Thus, the equipment of the ____ converts ___ to ___stored in ___ and ____. _ is a by-product.) Let's now see how the Calvin cycle uses the _____ of the _____ to synthe- size _ from __, The Calvin cycle uses the ___ of ___ and ___ to ____ to ___ The Calvin cycle is similar to the citric acid cycle in that a __ material is _ after some molecules __ and others ____ . However, the citric acid cycle is ____, ___ acetyl CoA and using the energy to synthesize ATP, while the Calvin cycle is ____,, building ____ from ____ and ___ energy.

(H+) or pH gradient across the thylakoids membrane is substantial When chloroplasts in an experimental setting are illuminated, the pH in the thylakoid space drops to about 5 (the H* concentration increases), and the pH in the stroma increases to about 8 (the H* concentra- tion decreases). This gradient of three pH units corresponds to a thousandfold difference in H+ concentration. If the lights are turned off, the pH gradient is abolished, but it can quickly be restored by turning the lights back on. Experiments such as this provided strong evidence in support of the chemios- motic model. Each of the molecules and molecular complexes in the figure is present in numerous copies in each thylakoid. Notice that NADPH, like ATP, is produced on the side of the membrane facing the stroma, where the Calvin cycle reactions take place. Let's summarize the light reactions. Electron flow pushes electrons from water, where they are at a low state of potential energy, ultimately to NADPH, where they are stored at a high state of potential energy. The light-driven electron flow also generates ATP. Thus, the equipment of the thylakoid mem- brane converts light energy to chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH. Oxygen Let's now see how the Calvin cycle uses the products of the light reactions to synthe- size sugar from CO2, The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to reduce CO2 to sugar The Calvin cycle is similar to the citric acid cycle in that a starting material is regenerated after some molecules enter and others exit the cycle. However, the citric acid cycle is catabolic, oxidizing acetyl CoA and using the energy to synthesize ATP, while the Calvin cycle is anabolic, building carbohydrates from smaller molecules and consuming energy. Carbon enters the Calvin cycle in CO, and leaves in sugar. The cycle spends ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH as reducing power for adding high-energy electrons to make sugar. As mentioned in Concept 8.1, the carbohydrate produced directly from the Calvin cycle is not glucose. It is actually a three-carbon sugar named glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). For net synthesis of one molecule of G3P, the cycle must take place three times, fixing three molecules of CO,-one per turn of the cycle. (Recall that the term carbon fixation refers to the initial incorporation of CO, into organic material.) As we trace the steps of the Calvin cycle, keep in mind that we are following three molecules of CO, through the reactions.

Notice by comparing Figure 8.9a and 8.9b that the action spectrum for photosynthesis is much broader than the ab- sorption spectrum of chlorophyll a. underestimates the effectiveness of certain wavelengths in driving photosynthesis. accessory pigments with different absorption spectra also present in chloroplasts-including chlorophyll b and carotenoids-broaden the spectrum of colors that can be used for photosynthesis. struc- tural difference two pigments to absorb at slightly different wavelengths in the red and blue parts of the spectrum blue green, olive green carotenoids, hydrocarbons that are various shades of yellow and orange be- cause they absorb violet and blue-green light broaden the spectrum of colors that can drive photosynthesis. photoprotection absorb and dissipate excessive light energy that would otherwise damage chloro- phyll or interact with oxygen, forming reactive oxidative mol- ecules that are dangerous to the cell. Interestingly, carotenoids similar to the photoprotective ones in chloroplasts have a pho- toprotective role in the human eye. Carrots, known for aiding night vision, are rich in carotenoids.) The colors corresponding to the absorbed wave- lengths disappear from the spectrum of the transmitted and reflected light, but energy cannot disappear. photon, molecule's electrons is elevated to an electron shell where it has more potential energy w when the electron is in its normal shell, the pigment molecule is said to be in its ground state. boosts an electron to a higher-energy electron shell, and the pigment molecule is then said to be in an excited state energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the ground state and an excited state, and this energy difference varies from one kind of molecule to another. T only photons corresponding to specific wavelengths, which is why each pigment has a unique absorption spectrum. raises an electron from the ground state to an excited state, the electron cannot stay there long.

O Photoexcited electrons are passed in a series of redox re- actions from the primary electron acceptor of PS I down a second electron transport chain through the protein ferredoxin (Fd). (This chain does not create a proton gradient and thus does not produce ATP.) The enzyme NADP* reductase catalyzes the transfer of electrons from Fd to NADP*. Two electrons are required for its reduction to NADPH. This molecule is at a higher energy level than water, so its electrons are more readily available for the reactions of the Calvin cycle. This pro- cess also removes an H* from the stroma. solar power to generate ATP and NADPH, which provide chemical energy and reducing power, respectively, to the carbohydrate-synthesizing reactions of the Calvin cycle. the process that uses membranes to couple redox reactions to ATP production. ATP by the same basic mechanism: chemiosmosi electron transport chain assembled in a membrane pumps protons (H*) across the membrane as electrons are passed through a series of carriers that are progressively more electronegative. Thus, electron transport chains transform redox energy to a proton-motive force, potential energy stored in the form of an H* gradient across a membrane. An ATP synthase com- plex in the same membrane couples the diffusion of hydrogen ions down their gradient to the phosphorylation of ADP, forming ATP. Some of the electron carriers, including the iron-containing proteins called cytochromes, are very similar in chloroplasts and mitochondria. The ATP synthase com- plexes of the two organelles are also quite similar. But there are noteworthy differences between photophosphorylation in chloroplasts and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Both work by way of chemiosmosis, but in chloroplasts, the high-energy electrons dropped down the transport chain come from water, whereas in mitochondria, they are extracted from organic molecules (which are thus oxidized). Chloroplasts do not need molecules from food to make ATP; their photosys- tems capture light energy and use it to drive the electrons from water to the top of the transport chain. In other words, mito- chondria use chemiosmosis to transfer chemical energy from food molecules to ATP, whereas chloroplasts use it to trans- form light energy into chemical energy in ATP. Although the spatial organization of chemiosmosis differs slightly between chloroplasts and mitochondria, it is easy to see similarities in the two (Figure 8.15). pumps protons from the mitochondrial matrix out to the intermembrane space, which then serves as a reservoir of hydrogen ions thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast pumps protons from the stroma into the thylakoid space (interior of the thylakoid), which functions as the H* reservoir if you imagine the cristae of mitochondria pinching off from the inner membrane, this may help you see how the thylakoid space and the intermembrane space are comparable spaces in the two organelles, while the mitochondrial matrix is analogous to the stroma of the chloroplast. In the mito- chondrion, protons diffuse down their concentration gradient from the intermembrane space through ATP synthase to the matrix, driving ATP synthesis. In the chloroplast, ATP is syn- thesized as the hydrogen ions diffuse from the thylakoid space back to the stroma through ATP synthase complexes, whose catalytic knobs are on the stroma side of the membranes . Thus, ATP forms in the stroma, where it is used to help drive sugar synthesis during the Calvin cycle.

O2 given off by plants is derived from H2O and not from CO2 water into hydrogen and oxygen. split carbon dioxide and then added water to carbon. This hypothesis predicted that the O2 released during photosynthesis came from CO2. This idea was challenged in the 1930s by C. B. van Niel, of Stanford University. bacteria, CO2, O2 CO2 is not split into carbon and oxygen. hydrogen sul- fide (H,S), yellow globules, sulfur H2O, source of electrons from hydrogen atoms, O2 oxygen-18 (O), follow the fate of oxygen atoms during photosynthesis The experiments showed that the O2, from plants was labeled with 18O only if water was the source of the tracer (experiment 1). If the "18O was introduced to the plant in the form of CO2 the label did not turn up in the released O2 (experiment 2). extraction of hydrogen from water and its incorporation into sugar O2, released to the atmosphere. redox released from sugar, hydrogen, carriers to oxygen, forming water as a by-products lose potential, fall" down the electron transport chain toward electronegative oxygen, harnesses, synthesize ATP reverses the direction Water, transferred along with hydrogen ions from the water to carbon dioxide, reducing it to suga potential energy as they move from water to sugar, requires, endergonic, light

The en- ergy that enters the chloroplasts as sunlight becomes stored as chemical energy in organic compounds. . As for the fates of photosynthetic products, enzymes in the chloroplast and cytosol convert the G3P made in the Calvin cycle to many other organic compounds. In fact, the sugar made in the chloroplasts supplies the entire plant with chemi- cal energy and carbon skeletons for the synthesis of all the major organic molecules of plant cells. About 50% of the or- ganic material made by photosynthesis is consumed as fuel for cellular respiration in plant cell mitochondria. Green cells are the only autotrophic parts of the plant. Other cells depend on organic molecules exported from leaves via veins (see Figure 8.19, top). In most plants, carbohydrate transported out of the leaves to the rest of the plant as sucrose, disaccharide. After arriving at nonphotosynthetic cells, the sucrose provides raw material for cellular respiration and many anabolic pathways that synthesize proteins, lipids, and other products.
