PIGMENTS
➢ Requires absorption of light
➢ PIGMENTS-
➢ CHLOROPHYLL – Primary pigment
➢ CAROTENOIDS – accessory pigment
➢ PHYCOBILINS – accessory pigment

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
CHLOROPHYLL
➢ Chl. a, Chl. b, Chl. c, Chl. d, Chl. e, Bacteriochl.
etc.
➢ Porphyrin derivative
➢ Cyclic tetrapyrrolic str.
➢ Porphyrin ring & Phytol tail
➢ Empirical formula-
Chl.a – C55 H72 O5 N4 Mg
Chl.b – C55 H70 O6 N4 Mg
➢ Peaks of absorption – Chl. a - 662 & 430 nm
Chl. b - 642 & 454 nm 8

ABSORPTION SPECTRUM
CAROTENOIDS
➢ Orange-Yellow pigments
➢ 2 types-
Carotenes Xanthophylls
-Orange - Red -Yellow
-Most common-β Carotene - Oxygenated carotenes
➢ Absorb λ not absorbed by Chl.
➢ Prevents photo-oxidation of Chl. by absorbing excess light
energy
12
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PHYCOBILINS
➢ Open chain tetrapyrroles
➢ Water sol. complexes of proteins & bile
pigments
➢ Red algae & Cyanobacteria
➢ 3 Photosynthetic Phycobilins-
*Phycocyanin
*Phycoerythrin
*Allophycocyanin 13
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PROCESS
➢ Oxi.-Red. Reaction - H2O oxi O2
CO2 red. Carbohydrates
➢ 6CO2+12H2O C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O
14
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
LIGHT REACTION
➢ Site – Grana (Thyllakoid membrane)
➢ Dependent on light
➢ Water – oxidised
➢ Oxygen – evolved
➢ Energy produced as ATP & NADPH
15
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
HILL REACTION:
✓ The source of oxygen which is evolved during the
photosynthesis is water. In 1937, an English bio-chemist
named, Robin Hill proved this idea by a reaction. This
reaction is named as Hill reaction.
✓ Isolated chloroplast release O2 in presence of suitable
electron acceptor (Hill reagent DCPIP)
✓ Light driven split of water in absence of CO2 fixation-Hill
reaction
✓ Ruben & Kamen (1940s)-
6CO2+12H2O18 C6H12O6+6O2
18+6H2O 16
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
RED DROP & EMERSON ENHANCEMENT EFFECT:
✓ 2 quanta light energy – required – drive 1 electron
from water to NADP+
✓ for red. of 1 CO2 – 4 electrons
✓ Therefore 8 quanta -1 CO2 red./1O2production
✓ No. of oxygen mol. released = Quantum Yield
Quanta
= 1/8
18
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
✓ Emerson & Lewis –
*Q.Y. decreases sharply – λ ˃ 680nm (red zone)
- Red Drop
*If λ ˂ & ˃ 680nm provided simultaneously – Q.Y.
much greater than could be from adding rates when
either λ was provided alone – Emerson enhancement
effect
