photosynthesis: A Physiological and Chemical View Photosynthesis is a vital process that occurs in plants
,
algae and certain bacteria
,
allowing the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy that can be used for the growth and survival of these organisms
.
This process is essential for maintaining life on Earth
,
as it provides oxygen and forms the basis of food chains
.
Aspectos Fisiológicos da photosynthesis
Fisiologicamente
,
photosynthesis occurs mainly in plant leaves
,
specifically in chloroplasts
,
which are organelles specialized in capturing light
.
These cells contain pigments
,
chlorophyll being the most important
,
responsible for absorbing sunlight
.
Leaf structure is adapted to maximize photosynthesis efficiency
.
Leaves have a large surface to capture light and stomata that regulate gas exchange
,
allowing carbon dioxide to enter (CO₂) and oxygen output (O₂)
.
Furthermore
,
water necessária para a fotossíntese é absorvida pelas raízes e transportada através do xilema até as células fotossintéticas
.
Aspectos Químicos da photosynthesis
Quimicamente
,
photosynthesis can be divided into two main phases: the light phase (or light-dependent reactions) and the dark phase (or Calvin cycle)
.
Fase Clara
Nthe light phase
,
What happens in the membranes
,
two thylakoids
,
and two chloroplasts
?,
Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments associated with two protein complexes called photosystems (Photosystem II and Photosystem I)
.
Light energy is used to excite electrons
,
which are then transported through an electron transport chain
.
This transport generates a proton gradient that is used to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through photophosphorylation
.
Simultaneously
,
water (H₂O) is oxidized
,
releasing molecular oxygen (O₂)
.
Dark Phase (Calvin cycle)
The dark phase
,
or Calvin cycle
,
occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts
