PhotosynthesisPage 43R Honors Biology Mrs. Hansell
Producers--Autotrophs • Produce their own food---Energy • Example: • Plants and Bacteria
PhotosynthesisEndothermic- absorbs energy • Process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugar (glucose) to store as chemical energy.
Photosynthesis Formula: • 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + Water---Sunlight- Glucose + Oxygen Reactants --Yields Products
Chloroplast • Organelle in plants only where photosynthesis takes place.
Chlorophyll • Green pigment in chloroplast that absorbs light
Thylakoids • Contain the chlorophyll—absorbs sunlight
Granum (Grana) • Stack of thylakoids
Stroma • Fluid that surrounds granum—where glucose is produced
