Acknowledgements

The script, Life of Ps was made possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her, I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well, for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis.

Thank you all very much.

Calvin Cycle: Three phases occur here: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration
Chlorophylls A (P680 and P700): reflects green light, and absorbs red and blue light to being the process of photosynthesis
Electrons: transported through the Electron Transport Chain for the production of ATP and NADPH
Glucose: ATP from the Light Reactions are used, with the addition of hydrogen ions to CO2 to make glucose.
Narrator: Narrates the play
Thylakoid: interconnected sacs and membranes within the chloroplast that contain enzymes

    Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae and some bacteria absorb light energy and use it to synthesize organic compounds. In green plants, photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, that contain the photosynthetic pigments. Photosynthesis occurs by slightly different processes in C3 and C4 plants. Factors which can affect this are the stomata. Plants can regulate the movements of water vapor, O2 and CO2 through the leaf surface. This is accomplished by opening and closing the stomata, usually found on the bottom…

    Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis, the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is expelled through the stomata of the plant as a waste product. In The leaves there are a very special pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for the absorption of sunlight. Richard Martin Willstätter is the man responsible for studying these structures.…

    Plants are able to produce ATP during the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis in the thylakoid of the chloroplast. Red and blue wavelengths of light are absorbed by chlorophyll in chloroplasts on Photosystem II. The chloroplasts are protected and contained by a membrane, but they are close to the surface of the cell to catch the maximum amount of light. Their broad length also allows larger wavelengths of light to be absorbed. The energy absorbed is transferred to electrons and excites them to a higher energy level. This leads to the photolysis of water which results in the formation of hydrogen ions, electrons and oxygen gas. The electrons formed during photolysis then replace those excited by the light. The excited electrons are then passed along the electron transport chain in a series of redox reactions from one carrier to the next. The energy released by this passage is used to activate ATPase to combine ADP and Pi to form ATP. This process of converting ADP to ATP using light…

    The photosynthetic process of eukaryotes revolves around chlorophyll, the substance that give plants their green color. Plants convert light energy into chemical energy by means of photosynthesis. This experiment tests the reaction rates of a chloroplast suspension against variables of wavelengths and light intensity. Both a control and an experimental cuvette were exposed to a range of 450 to 750nm of light and varying intensities to test for reaction rates. These effects on rate were obtained by measuring the absorbance of DCPIP on a spectrophotometer after 16 minutes.…

    All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens in both these processes and how? Moving on to the energy transfers these processes go through and how these reactions relate to each other.…

    Although photosynthesis can happen in different ways in different species, some features are always the same. For example, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called photosynthetic reaction centers that containchlorophylls. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, while in bacteria they are embedded in theplasma membrane. Some of the light energy gathered by chlorophylls is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The rest of…
