AIM: How is Autotrophic Nutrition carried out? DO NOW: Compare and contrast Heterotrophic and Autotrohpic Nutrition.
Photosynthesis Process in which light energy converts inorganic compounds into chemical energy of organic compounds (food)
Equation light water + oxygen Carbon + dioxide water glucose + Chlorophyll (wastes) light 6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 Chlorophyll http://www.kscience.co.uk/animations/photosynthesis.swf
Where does Photosynthesis occur? Cells of leaves
Cells that contain chloroplast which contains chlorophyll a green pigment that absorbs light
THE BASICS: • Autotrophs perform photosynthesis. • Include most plants, some bacteria & protists (algae) • Capable of synthesizing organicmaterials from inorganicraw materials • Ultimate source of energy = Sun (d) Cyanobacteria (c) Euglena (b) Kelp (a) Mosses, ferns, and flowering plants
THE BASICS: • Organelle: Occurs in the CHLOROPLAST • Raw materials: Carbon dioxide & Water • Products: Glucose & Oxygen gas • Plants use some Glucose for their own energy– and store excess as STARCH
video Products Raw materials/ reactants
Leaf is the photosynthetic organ of the plant
2 PARTS 1. Light dependent reactions Photochemical reactions
Chlorophyll traps light causing Water to split into H and O H2O H2 + O
Oxygen (waste) exits through stomata Hydrogen = used for next part Oxygen (air) H2O H2 + O
2. Light – Independent reactions Dark reactions Carbon fixation No light needed
Glucose (C6H12O6) CO2 and H combine to form glucose CO2+ H
What are the gas bubbles produced by the plant?Which of the 2 reactions produced these bubbles, the light or the dark?
Best color light for photosynthesis Blue & red Easily absorbed
Glucose What is the glucose used for? Respiration (making energy) ATP
Do plants carry out respiration? • Yes in order to produce energy • Aerobic Respiration • Occurs in mitochondria
Do you recall? • Which organelle is the site of autotrophic nutrition? • What are the two raw materials necessary for a plant to perform photosynthesis? • Analyze this reaction is it dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis?
DO NOW: Copy and complete the chart below and answer the question below. A C B Why is photosynthesis an important process to all living things?
Produces food (source of energy) for itself & all other organisms
LEAVES STOMATA ROOTS VASCULAR TISSUE/BUNDLE
ROOTS the root is the organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soil The two major functions of roots are 1.) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients 2.) anchoring the plant body to the ground
ROOT HAIRS Increase surface area for absorption of water and nutrients
STOMATA (stomate; singular) is a pore found in the leaf and stem epidermis that is used for gas exchange Guard cells which are responsible for regulating the size of the opening
LEAVES A leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis
Adaptive Features of Leaves Cuticle for protection Stomata on the lower surface Flat and thin to increase surface area for light exposure
Cuticle Epidermis Chloroplasts Palisade Layer Spongy Layer Stomate and guard cells
"opening" A B controls the opening
CUTLICLE Creates a waterproof membrane Prevents contamination of plant tissues with external water, dirt and microorganisms
VASCULAR TISSUE/BUNDLE Contains Xylem and Phloem tubes Tubes that are used to transport materials around plant Phloem transports food (glucose) Xylem transports water from the roots
