phototrophy
chlorophyll a |
used by plants, algae, protozoa, cyanobacteria absorb energy to photoreactive centers involved in the generation of proton-motive force for ATP synthesis.
|
|
carotenoids
|
a pigment that absorbs light, primary role is photoprotection they indirectly transfer energy to centers.
|
|
chlorophyll a
|
CH3=C2H5....oxidized
top letft is CH=CH2 phytol at bottome with hydro-C tails and active site |
|
bacteriochlorophyll a
|
CH3-H to C2H5-H....reduced
top left is O=C-CH3 |
|
light absorbance spectra of chlorophylls
|
are complimentary
bacterio:360,525,590,805,870 chloro:430,480,680 |
|
anoxigenic e- cycling and photophosphorylation
|
excited e-'s from chlorophyll a in the reactive center are cycled thru e- carriers and back to chlorophyll a: no donor required to generate PMF for ATP synthesis (stroma=inside, thylakoid space=outside)
|
|
photophosphorylation in purple bacteria
|
bacteriopheophytin=bacteriochlorophyll with Mg
pdt:ATP, 3H light harvesting complexes |
|
