Photosynthesis • compare the reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy and matter;
Research into PHOTOSYNTHESIS began centuries ago with this simple question: When a tiny seed grows into a huge plant, where does all the “new plant” come from?
ENERGY & LIFE • Autotrophs get energy they need to produce food from the sun (or a light source)
The Big Picture: Presence of light, plants transform CO2 and water into carbohydrates and release oxygen. Equations: (aka: carbs such as glucose, sucrose) Carbondioxide WATER Sugars Oxygen _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________ Matter Matter Matter Energy → _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________ 6 CO2 6 H2O → C6H12O6 6 O2 _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________
WAIT A SECOND!!! • What are the reactants of photosynthesis? • What are the products of photosynthesis? • How many of each are there? Equations: (aka: carbs such as glucose) Carbondioxide WATER Sugars Oxygen _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________ Matter Matter Matter Energy → _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________ 6 CO2 6 H2O → C6H12O6 6 O2 _____________ + ____________ _______________ + ____________
PHOTOSYNTHESIS: Ok, Where does it happen? LIGHT ENERGY 6CO2 + 6H2O SUGAR + 6O2

Pearson Education Inc, Pusblishing as Pearson Prentice Hall Because light is a form of energy, any molecule that absorbs light also absorbs the energy from the light.

Chloroplast Structures & Function: • Locate the … • Thylakoids • Granum • Stroma • 2 stages of photosynthesis: • Light-dependent reactions • Calvin Cycle (Light-independent)
Light Dependent Reactions • Occurs in the thylakoidmembranes (stacked, wafer-like structures in chloroplasts with huge surface area) • Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll used to split H2O molecules • Producing oxygen gas and • Recharging electron carriers. ADP converted to ATP
Calvin Cycle • 5. Occurs in the stroma (space inside the chloroplast) • CO2 enters from atmosphere • Energy from ATP & electron carriers used to convert a 3-carbon molecule to higher energy molecule • Produces a single 6-carbon sugar molecule (glucose)
