converts sunlight energy to chemical energy stored in sugars

overall photosynthesis equation

6CO2 + 6H20 + Light E → C6H12O6 + 6O2

membranous sacs suspended within stroma; chlorophyll

Photosynthesis stages

light reactions and calvin cycle

location of light reactions

thylakoid membranes

light reactions

convert light energy to chemical energy of ATP and NADPH splits H2O releasing O2

location of Calvin cycle

stroma

calvin cycle (light independent reactions)

uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 to G3P (sugar) return ADP, Pi, and NADP+ to light reactions

photosystem

reaction center complex + light-harvesting complexes

photosystem II

functions 1st in light reactions

chlorophyll a P680

photosystem I

functions 2nd in light reactions

chlorophyll a P700

H2O split → releasing O2

flow of light reactions

linear electron flow

calvin cycle

anabolic; builds carbs from smaller molecules and consume energy

spends ATP as energy and consumes NADPH as releasing power

carbon fixation

each CO2 attached to RuBP (5c sugar) → 3 phosphoglycerate

2 formed per CO2 fixed

1st step is catalyzed by rubisco

reduction

each 3-phosphoglycerate receives P group from ATP forming 1,3 - biphosphoglycerate

electron pair from NADH reduces 1,3-biphosphoglycerate → G3P only 1 G3P is net carbohydrate gain

regeneration of RuBP

5 G3P rearranged into 3 RuBP

G3P net synthesis

9 ATP + 6 NADPH

Number of cell signaling stagses

3 stages

signal reception

target cell detects extracellular signaling molecules (ligand/L) via receptor binding

signal transduction

ligand binds receptor → changes receptor → initiates transduction → converts to form that can elicit specific cellular response

cellular response

transduced signal triggers specific cellular response (ex. cytoskeleton rearrangement, gene activation)

cell surface (transmembrane) receptor

plasma membrane proteins

water soluble signals

ex: epinephrine, growth factor

intracellular repcetor

nucleus or cytoplasm

hydrophobic or small molecules

ex: steroid + thyroid hormones, nitric oxide

1st step of G protein-coupled receptor

inactive receptor…. G protein has GDP attached to it…. enzyme is inactive

2nd step of G protein-coupled receptor

active…. ligand binds ro recievor via outside of cell…. G protein binds to cytoplasmic side of the receptor…. GTP reduces GDP

3rd step of G protein-coupled receptor

active G protein dissociates from receptor (ligand not present anymore)…. G protein travels to enzyme and binds to cytoplasmic side of enzyme…. enzyme activated and changes shape….. initiates a cellular response

4th step of G protein-coupled receptor

inactive again….. G protein releases from enzyme and becomes GTPase…. GTP turns into GDP plus an inorganic phosphate….. available for use again once ligand is present

1st step of receptor tyrosine kinase

ligand binds receptor → monomers associate forming dimer

2nd step of receptor tyrosine kinase

dimerization activate tyrosine kinase → add P from ATP to tyrosine on intercellular tail → forms phosphorylated dimer → active

3rd step of receptor tyrosine kinase

intercellular relay proteins bind specific phosphorylated tyrosine → change shape of relay protein → trigger signal transduction → cellular response

receptor tyrosine kinase

protein kinase catalyzes transfer to P group from ATP to tyrosine

1st step of intracellular receptor

hormone diffuses across plasma membrane

2nd step of intracellular receptor

hormone binds receptor → activating receptor

3rd step of intracellular receptor

hormone receptor complex enters nucleus

4th step of intracellular receptor

hormone receptor complex binds specific gene → transcription factor

5th step of intracellular receptor

transcription initiated → mRNA

6th step of intracellular receptor

mRNA transported to cytoplasm → translated into protein

second messenger

cAMP

1st step of making cAMP

adenyl cyclase removes 2 phosphate groups from ATP

2nd step of making cAMP

remaining phosphate attached at 3’ and 5’ carbons → cAMP

inactive cAMP

phosphodiesterase converts cAMP to AMP

PDE catalyzes hydrolysis of 3’ phosphate bond to generate 5’ AMP
