The photosynthetic membranes form thylakoids and contain chlorophyll Figure 8. Unlike the anoxygenic phototrophs, cyanobacteria and chloroplasts have two photosystems. Both photosystems are excited by light energy simultaneously. The flow of electrons in this way is called the Z-scheme Figure 8.

Only PSI is used during cyclic photophosphorylation; the high-energy electron of the PSI reaction centre is passed to an ETS carrier and then ultimately returns to the oxidized PSI reaction centre pigment, thereby reducing it. Skip to content 8. Microbial Catabolism. What is rhodopsin-based phototrophy?

What organisms use it and under what conditions? How do photoexcitation, photoionization and photolysis relate to photosynthetic electron transport systems? What is the purpose of the photosynthetic antennae and how do they work? How do the different photosynthetic pigments relate to the coexistence of, and identification of, the different microbial phototrophs?

What are the basic differences between the purple and green phototrophs? What is reverse electron flow and why is it necessary in purple sulphurs but not green sulphurs? What is the historical and current significance of the cyanobacteria? How does the photosystem of the cyanobacteria differ from that of the anoxygenic phototrophs?

Heterotrophs depend on the carbohydrates produced by autotrophs, many of which are photosynthetic, converting solar energy into chemical energy.

Different photosynthetic organisms use different mixtures of photosynthetic pigments, which increase the range of the wavelengths of light an organism can absorb. Photosystems PSI and PSII each contain a light-harvesting complex, composed of multiple proteins and associated pigments that absorb light energy.

In oxygenic photosynthesis, H 2 O serves as the electron donor to replace the reaction centre electron, and oxygen is formed as a byproduct. In anoxygenic photosynthesis, other reduced molecules like H 2 S or thiosulphate may be used as the electron donor; as such, oxygen is not formed as a byproduct. Multiple Choice. Fill in the Blank. Short Answer Why would an organism perform cyclic phosphorylation instead of noncyclic phosphorylation?

What is the function of photosynthetic pigments in the light-harvesting complex? Critical Thinking Is life dependent on the carbon fixation that occurs during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis? Senge, M. Chlorophylls, Symmetry, Chirality, and Photosynthesis. Symmetry 6 3 , ; doi Previous: 8. This electron transport chain is very similar to the one in cellular respiration; however, the carrier proteins in the chloroplast ETC are different from those in the mitochondrial ETC.

The production of ATP in the chloroplast is called photophosphorylation because the energy harnessed in the process originally came from light. This process of ATP production is called non-cyclic photophosphorylation. The ATP generated in this process will provide the energy for the synthesis of glucose during the Calvin cycle light independent reactions. The hole was created when light energy drives an electron from P to the primary electron acceptor of photosystem I.

The primary electron acceptor of photosystem I passes the excited electrons to a second electron transport chain which transmits them to an iron-containing protein.
