The general equation for photosynthesis as first proposed by Cornelis van Niel is therefore:[14]

CO2

carbon

dioxide

+  

2H2A

electron donor

+  

photons

light energy

→  

[CH2O]

carbohydrate

+  

2A

oxidized

electron

donor

+  

H2O

water

Since water is used as the electron donor in oxygenic photosynthesis, the equation for this process is:

CO2

carbon

dioxide

+  

2H2O

water

+  

photons

light energy

→  

[CH2O]

carbohydrate

+  

O2

oxygen

+  

H2O

water

This equation emphasizes that water is both a reactant in the light-dependent reaction and a product of the light-independent reaction, but canceling n water molecules from each side gives the net equation:

CO2

carbon

dioxide

+  

H2O

water

+  

photons

light energy

→  

[CH2O]

carbohydrate

+  

O2

oxygen

Other processes substitute other compounds (such as arsenite) for water in the electron-supply role; for example some microbes use sunlight to oxidize arsenite to arsenate:[15] The equation for this reaction is:

CO2

carbon

dioxide

+  

(AsO3−

3)

arsenite

+  

photons

light energy

→  

(AsO3−

4)

arsenate

+  

CO

carbon

monoxide

(used to build other compounds in subsequent reactions)[16]

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.

Most organisms that utilize oxygenic photosynthesis use visible light for the light-dependent reactions, although at least three use shortwave infrared or, more specifically, far-red radiation.[17]

Some organisms employ even more radical variants of photosynthesis. Some archaea use a simpler method that employs a pigment similar to those used for vision in animals. The bacteriorhodopsin changes its configuration in response to sunlight, acting as a proton pump. This produces a proton gradient more directly, which is then converted to chemical energy. The process does not involve carbon dioxide fixation and does not release oxygen, and seems to have evolved separately from the more common types of photosynthesis.[18][19]

Photosynthetic membranes and organelles

Chloroplast ultrastructure:

1. outer membrane

2. intermembrane space

3. inner membrane (1+2+3: envelope)

4. stroma (aqueous fluid)

5. thylakoid lumen (inside of thylakoid)

6. thylakoid membrane

7. granum (stack of thylakoids)

8. thylakoid (lamella)

9. starch

10. ribosome

11. plastidial DNA

12. plastoglobule (drop of lipids)

Main articles: Chloroplast and Thylakoid

In photosynthetic bacteria, the proteins that gather light for photosynthesis are embedded in cell membranes. In its simplest form, this involves the membrane surrounding the cell itself.[20] However, the membrane may be tightly folded into cylindrical sheets called thylakoids,[21] or bunched up into round vesicles called intracytoplasmic membranes.[22] These structures can fill most of the interior of a cell, giving the membrane a very large surface area and therefore increasing the amount of light that the bacteria can absorb.[21]

In plants and algae, photosynthesis takes place in organelles called chloroplasts. A typical plant cell contains about 10 to 100 chloroplasts. The chloroplast is enclosed by a membrane. This membrane is composed of a phospholipid inner membrane, a phospholipid outer membrane, and an intermembrane space. Enclosed by the membrane is an aqueous fluid called the stroma. Embedded within the stroma are stacks of thylakoids (grana), which are the site of photosynthesis. The thylakoids appear as flattened disks. The thylakoid itself is enclosed by the thylakoid membrane, and within the enclosed volume is a lumen or thylakoid space. Embedded in the thylakoid membrane are integral and peripheral membrane protein complexes of the photosynthetic system.
