Correct sequence of photosynthesis processes. How and where does photosynthesis take place in plants? It takes place in two phases.

All living organisms that live on Earth are open systems that depend on the supply of matter and energy from outside. The process of consuming matter and energy is called food . Chemical substances necessary for building the body, energy - for the implementation of vital processes. There are two types of nutrition of living organisms: autotrophic and heterotrophic, and three groups of organisms according to the type of nutrition: autotrophs, heterotrophs and mixotrophs.

Classification of living organisms by types of nutrition

A type Characteristic organisms
Autotrophs Organisms that use carbon dioxide as a source of carbon. In other words, these are organisms capable of creating organic substances from inorganic - carbon dioxide, water, mineral salts Plants and some bacteria
Heterotrophs Organisms that use carbon as a source organic compounds Animals, fungi and most bacteria
Mixotrophs Organisms with a mixed type of nutrition, which, depending on habitat conditions, can both synthesize organic substances from inorganic substances and feed on ready-made organic compounds. Insectivorous plants, representatives of the Euglena algae department, etc.

Depending on the source of energy, autotrophs are divided into photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs.

Classification of autotrophs depending on the energy source

According to the method of obtaining food, heterotrophs are divided into phagotrophs (holozoans) and osmotrophs.

Classification of heterotrophs according to the method of obtaining food

According to the state of the food source, heterotrophs are divided into biotrophs and saprotrophs.

Metabolism- the totality of all chemical reactions occurring in a living organism. The value of metabolism is to create the substances necessary for the body and provide it with energy.

Components of metabolism

The processes of plastic and energy exchange are inextricably linked. All synthetic (anabolic) processes require energy supplied during dissimilation reactions. The reactions of splitting (catabolism) themselves proceed only with the participation of enzymes synthesized in the process of assimilation.

The role of ATP in metabolism

Energy released during decay organic matter, is not immediately used by the cell, but is stored in the form of high-energy compounds, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In its own way chemical nature ATP is a mononucleotide.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)- a mononucleotide consisting of adenine, ribose and three phosphoric acid residues, interconnected by macroergic bonds.

These bonds store energy, which is released when they are broken:
ATP + H 2 O → ADP + H 3 PO 4 + Q 1
ADP + H 2 O → AMP + H 3 PO 4 + Q 2
AMP + H 2 O → adenine + ribose + H 3 PO 4 + Q 3,
where ATP is adenosine triphosphoric acid; ADP - adenosine diphosphoric acid; AMP - adenosine monophosphoric acid; Q 1 \u003d Q 2 \u003d 30.6 kJ; Q 3 \u003d 13.8 kJ.
The supply of ATP in the cell is limited and replenished through the process of phosphorylation. Phosphorylation- addition of a phosphoric acid residue to ADP (ADP + F → ATP). It occurs with varying intensity during respiration, fermentation, and photosynthesis. ATP is renewed extremely quickly (in humans, the lifespan of one ATP molecule is less than 1 minute).
The energy stored in ATP molecules is used by the body in anabolic reactions (biosynthesis reactions). The ATP molecule is the universal store and carrier of energy for all living beings.

energy exchange

The energy necessary for life, most organisms receive as a result of the oxidation of organic substances, that is, as a result of catabolic reactions. The most important compound acting as a fuel is glucose.
In relation to free oxygen, organisms are divided into three groups.

Classification of organisms in relation to free oxygen

In obligate aerobes and facultative anaerobes, in the presence of oxygen, catabolism proceeds in three stages: preparatory, oxygen-free, and oxygen. As a result, organic substances break down into inorganic compounds. At obligate anaerobes and facultative anaerobes with a lack of oxygen, catabolism proceeds in the first two stages: preparatory and anoxic. As a result, intermediate organic compounds are formed, which are still rich in energy.

Stages of catabolism

1. The first stage is preparatory- consists in the enzymatic splitting of complex organic compounds into simpler ones. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats into glycerol and fatty acids, polysaccharides into monosaccharides, nucleic acids into nucleotides. In multicellular organisms, this occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, in unicellular organisms, in lysosomes under the action of hydrolytic enzymes. The released energy is dissipated in the form of heat. The resulting organic compounds either undergo further oxidation or are used by the cell to synthesize its own organic compounds.
2. The second stage - incomplete oxidation (oxygen-free)- consists in the further splitting of organic substances, is carried out in the cytoplasm of the cell without the participation of oxygen. The main source of energy in the cell is glucose. Anoxic, incomplete oxidation of glucose is called glycolysis. As a result of glycolysis of one glucose molecule, two molecules of pyruvic acid (PVK, pyruvate) CH 3 COCOOH, ATP and water are formed, as well as hydrogen atoms, which are bound by the NAD + carrier molecule and stored in the form of NAD H.
The overall formula for glycolysis is as follows:
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 2H 3 PO 4 + 2ADP + 2NAD + → 2C 3 H 4 O 3 + 2H 2 O + 2ATP + 2NAD H.
Further in the absence of oxygen in the environment glycolysis products (PVK and NAD H) are processed either into ethyl alcohol - alcoholic fermentation(in yeast and plant cells with a lack of oxygen)
CH 3 COCOOH → CO 2 + CH 3 SON
CH 3 SON + 2NAD H → C 2 H 5 OH + 2NAD +,
or into lactic acid - lactic acid fermentation (in animal cells with a lack of oxygen)
CH 3 COCOOH + 2NAD H → C 3 H 6 O 3 + 2NAD +.
In the presence of oxygen in the environment glycolysis products undergo further cleavage to final products.
3. The third stage - complete oxidation (respiration)- consists in the oxidation of PVC to carbon dioxide and water, is carried out in mitochondria with the obligatory participation of oxygen.
It consists of three stages:
A) the formation of acetylcoenzyme A;
B) oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A in the Krebs cycle;
C) oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.

A. At the first stage, PVA is transferred from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria, where it interacts with matrix enzymes and forms 1) carbon dioxide, which is excreted from the cell; 2) hydrogen atoms, which are delivered by carrier molecules to the inner membrane of the mitochondria; 3) acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA).
B. At the second stage, acetylcoenzyme A is oxidized in the Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle, citric acid cycle) is a chain of successive reactions during which 1) two molecules of carbon dioxide, 2) an ATP molecule and 3) four pairs of hydrogen atoms are formed from one molecule of acetyl-CoA, and 3) four pairs of hydrogen atoms are transferred to molecules - carriers - OVER and FAD. Thus, as a result of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, the glucose molecule is broken down to CO 2, and the energy released in this case is spent on the synthesis of 4 ATP and accumulates in 10 NAD H and 4 FAD H 2.
C. In the third stage, hydrogen atoms with NADH and FAD H 2 are oxidized by molecular oxygen O 2 to form water. One NAD H is able to form 3 ATP, and one FAD H 2 -2 ATP. Thus, the energy released in this case is stored in the form of another 34 ATP.
This process proceeds as follows. Hydrogen atoms are concentrated near the outer side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. They lose electrons, which are transferred along the chain of carrier molecules (cytochromes) of the electron transport chain (ETC) to the inner side of the inner membrane, where they combine with oxygen molecules:
O 2 + e - → O 2 -.
As a result of the activity of the enzymes of the electron transport chain, the inner membrane of mitochondria is negatively charged from the inside (due to O 2 -), and from the outside it is positively charged (due to H +), so that a potential difference is created between its surfaces. Molecules of the enzyme ATP synthetase with an ion channel are built into the inner membrane of mitochondria. When the potential difference across the membrane reaches a critical level, the positively charged particles H + force electric field begin to push through the ATPase channel and, once on the inner surface of the membrane, interact with oxygen, forming water:
1/2O 2 - + 2H + → H 2 O.
The energy of hydrogen ions H + transported through the ion channel of the inner membrane of the mitochondria is used to phosphorylate ADP to ATP:
ADP + F → ATP.
This formation of ATP in mitochondria with the participation of oxygen is called oxidative phosphorylation.
The overall equation for the breakdown of glucose in the process of cellular respiration:
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 38H 3 PO 4 + 38ADP → 6CO 2 + 44H 2 O + 38ATP.
Thus, during glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules are formed, during cellular respiration - another 36 ATP molecules, in general, with complete oxidation of glucose - 38 ATP molecules.

plastic exchange

Plastic exchange, or assimilation, is a set of reactions that ensure the synthesis of complex organic compounds from simpler ones (photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, protein biosynthesis, etc.).
Heterotrophic organisms build their own organic matter from organic food components. Heterotrophic assimilation essentially boils down to rearrangement of molecules:
food organic substances (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) → simple organic molecules (amino acids, fatty acids, monosaccharides) → body macromolecules (proteins, fats, carbohydrates).
Autotrophic organisms are capable of completely independently synthesizing organic substances from inorganic molecules consumed from the external environment. In the process of photo- and chemosynthesis, the formation of simple organic compounds occurs, from which macromolecules are subsequently synthesized:
inorganic substances (CO 2, H 2 O) → simple organic molecules (amino acids, fatty acids, monosaccharides) → macromolecules of the body (proteins, fats, carbohydrates).

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis- synthesis of organic compounds from inorganic ones due to the energy of light.

The overall photosynthesis equation is:

Photosynthesis takes place with the participation photosynthetic pigments, which have the unique property of converting the energy of sunlight into the energy of a chemical bond in the form of ATP. Photosynthetic pigments are protein-like substances. The most important pigment is chlorophyll. In eukaryotes, photosynthetic pigments are embedded in the inner membrane of plastids, in prokaryotes, in invaginations of the cytoplasmic membrane.
The structure of the chloroplast is very similar to that of the mitochondria. The inner membrane of thylakoid gran contains photosynthetic pigments, as well as proteins of the electron transport chain and molecules of the enzyme ATP synthetase.
The process of photosynthesis consists of two phases: light and dark.
1. Light phase of photosynthesis proceeds only in the light in the membrane of the thylakoids of the grana.
It includes the absorption of light quanta by chlorophyll, the formation of an ATP molecule, and the photolysis of water.
Under the action of a light quantum (hv), chlorophyll loses electrons, passing into an excited state:

These electrons are transferred by carriers to the outer, that is, the surface of the thylakoid membrane facing the matrix, where they accumulate.
At the same time, photolysis of water occurs inside the thylakoids, that is, its decomposition under the action of light:

The resulting electrons are transferred by carriers to chlorophyll molecules and restore them. The chlorophyll molecules return to a stable state.
Hydrogen protons, formed during the photolysis of water, accumulate inside the thylakoid, creating an H + -reservoir. As a result, the inner surface of the thylakoid membrane is charged positively (due to H +), and the outer surface is negatively charged (due to e -). As oppositely charged particles accumulate on both sides of the membrane, the potential difference increases. When the critical value of the potential difference is reached, the strength of the electric field begins to push protons through the ATP synthetase channel. The energy released in this case is used to phosphorylate ADP molecules:
ADP + F → ATP.

The formation of ATP during photosynthesis under the influence of light energy is called photophosphorylation.
Hydrogen ions, once on the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane, meet electrons there and form atomic hydrogen, which binds to the hydrogen carrier molecule NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate):
2H + + 4e - + NADP + → NADP H 2.
Thus, during the light phase of photosynthesis, three processes occur: the formation of oxygen due to the decomposition of water, the synthesis of ATP, and the formation of hydrogen atoms in the form of NADP·H 2 . Oxygen diffuses into the atmosphere, while ATP and NADP H 2 participate in the processes of the dark phase.
2. Dark phase of photosynthesis proceeds in the chloroplast matrix both in the light and in the dark and is a series of successive transformations of CO 2 coming from the air in the Calvin cycle. The reactions of the dark phase are carried out due to the energy of ATP. In the Calvin cycle, CO 2 binds to hydrogen from NADP·H 2 to form glucose.
In the process of photosynthesis, in addition to monosaccharides (glucose, etc.), monomers of other organic compounds are synthesized - amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids. Thus, thanks to photosynthesis, plants provide themselves and all life on Earth with the necessary organic substances and oxygen.

Genetic information in all organisms is stored in the form of a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides (or RNA for RNA-containing viruses). Prokaryotes contain genetic information in the form of a single DNA molecule. In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is distributed in several DNA molecules organized into chromosomes.
DNA consists of coding and non-coding regions. Coding regions code for RNA. Non-coding regions of DNA perform structural function, allowing regions of genetic material to be packaged in a particular way, or regulatory function, participating in the inclusion of genes that direct protein synthesis.
Genes are the coding regions of DNA. Gene - a section of a DNA molecule encoding the synthesis of one mRNA (and, accordingly, a polypeptide), rRNA or tRNA.
The region of the chromosome where the gene is located is called locus . The set of genes in the cell nucleus is genotype , the totality of genes of the haploid set of chromosomes - genome , a set of extranuclear DNA genes (mitochondria, plastids, cytoplasm) - plasmon .
The implementation of the information recorded in the genes through the synthesis of proteins is called expression (manifestation) of genes. Genetic information is stored in the form of a certain sequence of DNA nucleotides, and is realized in the form of a sequence of amino acids in a protein. RNA mediates and carries information. That is, the implementation of genetic information occurs as follows:
DNA → RNA → protein.
This process is carried out in two stages:
1) transcription;
2) broadcast.

Transcription(from lat. transcription- rewriting) - the synthesis of RNA using DNA as a template. As a result, mRNA, tRNA and rRNA are formed. The transcription process requires a large expenditure of energy in the form of ATP and is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

At the same time, not the entire DNA molecule is transcribed, but only its individual segments. Such a segment ( transcripton) starts promoter- a section of DNA where RNA polymerase attaches and where transcription begins and ends terminator a segment of DNA containing a signal for the end of transcription. A transcripton is a gene in terms of molecular biology.
Transcription, like replication, is based on the ability of the nitrogenous bases of nucleotides to complementary binding. At the time of transcription, the DNA double strand is broken, and RNA synthesis is carried out along one DNA strand.

During transcription, the DNA nucleotide sequence is transcribed onto the synthesized mRNA molecule, which acts as a template in the process of protein biosynthesis.
The genes of prokaryotes consist only of coding nucleotide sequences.

Eukaryotic genes consist of alternating coding ( exons) and non-coding ( introns) plots.

After transcription, mRNA regions corresponding to introns are removed during splicing, which is an integral part of processing.

Processing- the process of formation of mature mRNA from its precursor pre-mRNA. It includes two main events. 1. Attachment to the ends of mRNA short sequences of nucleotides, indicating the start and end of translation. 2. Splicing- removal of non-informative mRNA sequences corresponding to DNA introns. As a result of splicing molecular mass mRNA is reduced by 10 times.
Broadcast(from lat. translation- translation) - the synthesis of a polypeptide chain using mRNA as a template.

All three types of RNA are involved in translation: mRNA is the information matrix; tRNAs deliver amino acids and recognize codons; rRNA together with proteins form ribosomes that hold mRNA, tRNA and protein and carry out the synthesis of the polypeptide chain.

Broadcast stages

Stage Characteristic
Initiation Assembly of the complex involved in the synthesis of the polypeptide chain. A small subunit of the ribosome binds to the initiator met-t rna, and then with m pH to, after which the formation of a whole ribosome, consisting of small and large subparticles, occurs.
Elongation elongation of the polypeptide chain. The ribosome moves along rna, which is accompanied by repeated repetition of the cycle of addition of the next amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.
Termination Completion of the synthesis of the polypeptide molecule. The ribosome reaches one of three stop codons rna, and since there is no t rna with anticodons complementary to stop codons, the synthesis of the polypeptide chain stops. It is released and separated from the ribosome. Ribosomal subunits dissociate, separate from mRNA, and can take part in the synthesis of the next polypeptide chain.

Matrix synthesis reactions

  • self-duplication of DNA (replication);
  • the formation of mRNA, tRNA and rRNA on a DNA molecule (transcription);
  • protein biosynthesis to mRNA (translation).

All these reactions are united by the fact that a DNA molecule in one case or an mRNA molecule in another act as a template on which identical molecules are formed. Matrix synthesis reactions are the basis of the ability of living organisms to reproduce their own kind.
Regulation of gene expression. The body of a multicellular organism is built from a variety of cell types. They differ in structure and function, that is, they are differentiated. The differences are manifested in the fact that in addition to the proteins necessary for any cell of the body, cells of each type also synthesize specialized proteins: keratin is formed in the epidermis, hemoglobin is formed in erythrocytes, etc. Cell differentiation is due to a change in the set of expressed genes and is not accompanied by any irreversible changes in the structure of the DNA sequences themselves.

cell division

Chromosomal set

Chromosomal set - a set of chromosomes contained in the nucleus. Depending on the chromosome set, cells are somatic and sexual.

Somatic and germ cells

cell cycle

cell cycle (cell life cycle) - the existence of a cell from the moment it arises as a result of the division of the mother cell to its own division or death. The duration of the cell cycle depends on the type of cell, its functional state and environmental conditions. The cell cycle includes a mitotic cycle and a dormant period.

V rest period (G 0) the cell performs its inherent functions and chooses a further fate - it dies or returns to the mitotic cycle. In continuously reproducing cells, the cell cycle coincides with the mitotic cycle, and there is no rest period.
Mitotic cycle consists of four periods: presynthetic (postmitotic) - G 1, synthetic - S, postsynthetic (premitotic) - G 2, mitosis - M. The first three periods are the preparation of the cell for division ( interphase), the fourth period is the division itself (mitosis).

Interphase - preparation of the cell for division.

Interphase periods
division of eukaryotic cells

basis for reproduction and individual development organisms is cell division.
Eukaryotic cells have three ways of dividing:

  • amitosis (direct division),
  • mitosis (indirect division),
  • meiosis (reduction division).

Amitosis- a rare way of cell division, characteristic of aging or tumor cells. During amitosis, the nucleus is divided by constriction and the uniform distribution of hereditary material is not ensured. After amitosis, the cell is not able to enter into mitotic division.

Mitosis- a type of cell division, as a result of which daughter cells receive genetic material identical to that contained in the mother cell. As a result of mitosis, two diploid cells, genetically identical to the parent, are formed from one diploid cell.

Phases of mitosis
Phases Number of chromosomes and chromatids Processes
Prophase 2n4c Chromosomes spiralize, centrioles (in animal cells) diverge to the poles of the cell, the nuclear membrane disintegrates, the nucleoli disappear, and the division spindle begins to form.
metaphase 2n4c Chromosomes, consisting of two chromatids, are attached by their own centromeres(primary constrictions) to the fission spindle threads. Moreover, all of them are located in the equatorial plane. This structure is called metaphase plate.
Anaphase 2n2c The centromeres divide, and the spindle fibers stretch the separated chromatids to opposite poles. The separated chromatids are now called daughter chromosomes.
Telophase 2n2c Daughter chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, despiralize, the spindle fibers are destroyed, a nuclear envelope is formed around the chromosomes, and the nucleoli are restored. The two nuclei formed are genetically identical. After that follows cytokinesis(division of the cytoplasm), which results in the formation of two daughter cells. Organelles are distributed between them more or less evenly.
The biological significance of mitosis:
  • genetic stability is achieved;
  • the number of cells in the body increases;
  • body grows;
  • phenomena of regeneration and asexual reproduction are possible in some organisms.
Meiosis

Meiosis- a type of cell division, accompanied by a reduction in the number of chromosomes. As a result of meiosis, four haploid cells are formed from one diploid cell, genetically different from the mother. During meiosis, two cell divisions occur (the first and second meiotic divisions), and the doubling of the number of chromosomes occurs only before the first division.

Phases of meiosis
Phases Number of chromosomes and chromatids Processes
Prophase I 2n4c There are processes similar to the processes of prophase of mitosis. In addition, homologous chromosomes, represented by two chromatids, approach and "stick" to each other. This process is called conjugation. In this case, there is an exchange of sections of homologous chromosomes - crossing over(cross chromosomes), that is, the exchange of hereditary information. After conjugation, homologous chromosomes separate from each other.
Metaphase I 2n4c There are processes similar to those of the metaphase of mitosis.
Anaphase I 1n2c Unlike the anaphase of mitosis, the centromeres do not divide, and not one chromatid from each chromosome departs to the poles of the cell, but one chromosome, consisting of two chromatids and held together by a common centromere.
Telophase I 1n2c Two cells with a haploid set are formed.
Interphase 1n2c Short. Replication (doubling) of DNA does not occur and, therefore, diploidy is not restored.
Prophase II 1n2c
Metaphase II 1n2c Similar to the processes during mitosis.
Anaphase II 1n1c Similar to the processes during mitosis.
Telophase II 1n1c Similar to the processes during mitosis.
The biological significance of meiosis:
  • the basis of sexual reproduction;
  • basis of combinative variability.
division of prokaryotic cells

Prokaryotes do not have mitosis or meiosis. Bacteria reproduce asexually - cell division with the help of constrictions or partitions, less often budding. These processes are preceded by the duplication of the circular DNA molecule.
In addition, bacteria are characterized by a sexual process - conjugation. When conjugated through a special channel formed between two cells, a DNA fragment of one cell is transferred to another cell, that is, the hereditary information contained in the DNA of both cells changes. Since the number of bacteria does not increase, for correctness, the concept of "sexual process" is used, but not "sexual reproduction".

Photosynthesis is biosynthesis, consisting in the conversion of light energy into organic compounds. Light in the form of photons is captured by a colored pigment associated with an inorganic or organic electron donor, and allows the mineral material to be used for the synthesis (production) of organic compounds.

In contact with

In other words, what is photosynthesis - this is the process of synthesizing organic matter (sugar) from sunlight. This reaction occurs at the level of chloroplasts, which are specialized cellular organelles that allow carbon dioxide and water to be consumed to produce dioxygen and organic molecules such as glucose.

It takes place in two phases:

Light phase (photophosphorylation) - is a set of light-dependent photochemical (i.e., light-capturing) reactions in which electrons are transported through both photosystems (PSI and PSII) to produce ATP (energy-rich molecule) and NADPHH (reducing potential).

Thus, the light phase of photosynthesis allows the direct conversion of light energy into chemical energy. It is through this process that our planet now has an oxygen-rich atmosphere. As a result, higher plants have managed to dominate the surface of the Earth, providing food for many other organisms that feed or find shelter through it. The original atmosphere contained gases such as ammonium, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, but very little oxygen. Plants have found a way to turn this CO2 so plentifully into food using sunlight.

The dark phase corresponds to the fully enzymatic and light-independent Calvin cycle, in which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and NADPH+H+ (nicotine amide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) are used to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. This second phase allows the absorption of carbon dioxide.

That is, in this phase of photosynthesis, approximately fifteen seconds after the absorption of CO, a synthesis reaction occurs and the first products of photosynthesis appear - sugars: trioses, pentoses, hexoses, heptoses. Sucrose and starch are formed from certain hexoses. In addition to carbohydrates, they can also develop into lipids and proteins by binding to a nitrogen molecule.

This cycle exists in algae, temperate plants and all trees; these plants are called "C3 plants", the most important intermediate bodies of the biochemical cycle, having a molecule of three carbon atoms (C3).

In this phase, chlorophyll, after absorbing a photon, has an energy of 41 kcal per mole, some of which is converted to heat or fluorescence. The use of isotopic markers (18O) showed that the oxygen released during this process comes from decomposed water and not from absorbed carbon dioxide.

Photosynthesis occurs mainly in plant leaves and rarely (ever) in stems, etc. Parts of a typical leaf include: upper and lower epidermis;

  • mesophyll;
  • vascular bundle (veins);
  • stomata.

If the cells of the upper and lower epidermis are not chloroplasts, photosynthesis does not occur. In fact, they serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf.

Stomata are holes found mainly in the lower epidermis and allow air (CO and O2) exchange. The vascular bundles (or veins) in the leaf form part of the plant's transport system, moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. Mesophyll cells have chloroplasts, this is the site of photosynthesis.

The mechanism of photosynthesis is very complex.. However, these processes in biology are of particular importance. Under vigorous exposure to light, chloroplasts (the parts of a plant cell containing chlorophyll), entering into a photosynthesis reaction, combine carbon dioxide (CO) with fresh water with the formation of sugars C6H12O6.

They are converted into starch C6H12O5 during the reaction, for a square decimeter of leaf surface, an average of 0.2 g of starch per day. The whole operation is accompanied by a strong release of oxygen.

In fact, the process of photosynthesis consists mainly of the photolysis of a water molecule.

The formula for this process is:

6 H 2 O + 6 CO 2 + light \u003d 6 O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6

Water + carbon dioxide + light = oxygen + glucose

  • H 2 O = water
  • CO 2 = carbon dioxide
  • O 2 = Oxygen
  • C 6 H 12 O 6 \u003d glucose

In translation, this process means: a plant needs six molecules of water + six molecules of carbon dioxide and light to enter into a reaction. This results in the formation of six molecules of oxygen and glucose in a chemical process. Glucose is glucose which the plant uses as source material for the synthesis of fats and proteins. Six molecules of oxygen are just a "necessary evil" for the plant, which it delivers to the environment through the closing cells.

As already mentioned, carbohydrates are the most important direct organic product of photosynthesis in most green plants. Little free glucose is formed in plants; instead, glucose units are linked to form starch, or combined with fructose, another sugar, to form sucrose.

Photosynthesis produces more than just carbohydrates., as it was once thought, but also:

  • amino acids;
  • proteins;
  • lipids (or fats);
  • pigments and other organic components of green tissues.

Minerals supply the elements (eg, nitrogen, N; phosphorus, P; sulfur, S) needed to form these compounds.

Chemical bonds are broken between oxygen (O) and carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen and sulfur, and new compounds are formed in products that include gaseous oxygen (O 2 ) and organic compounds. To break bonds between oxygen and other elements (such as water, nitrate, and sulfate) require more energy than is released when new bonds are formed in the products. This difference in binding energy explains most light energy stored as chemical energy in organic products produced during photosynthesis. Additional energy is stored when creating complex molecules from simple ones.

Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis

The rate of photosynthesis is determined by the rate of oxygen production, either per unit mass (or area) of green plant tissues, or per unit weight of total chlorophyll.

The amount of light, carbon dioxide supply, temperature, water supply and mineral availability are the most important factors. environment, which affect the rate of photosynthesis reaction in terrestrial installations. Its speed is also determined by the plant species and its physiological state, such as its health, maturity and flowering.

Photosynthesis takes place exclusively in the chloroplasts (Greek chlorine = green, sheet-like) of the plant. Chloroplasts are predominantly found in palisades, but also in spongy tissue. On the underside of the leaf are blocking cells that coordinate the exchange of gases. CO 2 flows into the intercellular cells from the outside.

Water needed for photosynthesis, transports the plant from the inside through the xylem into the cells. Green chlorophyll ensures the absorption of sunlight. After the carbon dioxide and water are converted into oxygen and glucose, the closing cells open up and release oxygen into the environment. Glucose remains in the cell and is converted by the plant, among others, into starch. The strength is compared with the glucose polysaccharide and is only slightly soluble, so even in high water losses in the strength of plant residues.

Importance of photosynthesis in biology

Of the light received by the sheet, 20% is reflected, 10% is transmitted and 70% is actually absorbed, of which 20% is dissipated in heat, 48% is lost in fluorescence. About 2% remains for photosynthesis.

Through this process, plants play an indispensable role on the surface of the Earth; in fact, green plants with some groups of bacteria are the only living beings capable of producing organic substances from mineral elements. It is estimated that every year 20 billion tons of carbon are fixed by land plants from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and 15 billion by algae.

Green plants are the main primary producers, the first link in the food chain; non-chlorophyll plants and herbivores and carnivores (including humans) are completely dependent on the photosynthesis reaction.

Simplified definition of photosynthesis is to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy. This photonic carbohydrate biosynthesis is produced from carbon dioxide CO2 using light energy.

That is, photosynthesis is the result of chemical activity(synthesis) of chlorophyll plants, which produce the main biochemical organic substances from water and mineral salts due to the ability of chloroplasts to capture part of the sun's energy.

There are three types of plastids:

  • chloroplasts- green, function - photosynthesis
  • chromoplasts- red and yellow, are dilapidated chloroplasts, can give a bright color to the petals and fruits.
  • leucoplasts- colorless, function - stock of substances.

The structure of chloroplasts

covered with two membranes. The outer membrane is smooth, the inner one has outgrowths inside - thylakoids. Stacks of short thylakoids are called grains, they increase the area of ​​the inner membrane in order to accommodate as many photosynthesis enzymes as possible on it.


The internal environment of the chloroplast is called the stroma. It contains circular DNA and ribosomes, due to which chloroplasts independently make some of the proteins for themselves, therefore they are called semi-autonomous organelles. (It is believed that earlier plastids were free bacteria that were absorbed by a large cell, but not digested.)

Photosynthesis (simple)

In green leaves in the light
In chloroplasts with chlorophyll
From carbon dioxide and water
Glucose and oxygen are synthesized.

Photosynthesis (medium difficulty)

1. Light phase.
Occurs in the light in the grains of chloroplasts. Under the action of light, decomposition (photolysis) of water occurs, oxygen is obtained, which is emitted, as well as hydrogen atoms (NADP-H) and ATP energy, which are used in the next stage.
