Class Rules • Punctuality • The last person to come into the class later than me will teach the class for 2 minutes on a selected topic by yours truly. • Homework to be returned during the first Theory lesson of the week. • Cleanliness • Courtesy • If you need to speak, raise your hands. • If someone is speaking, open your ears, and not your mouth. • Consistency • You must always have your notes with you. • Commitment • If you are tasked to do something, I expect it to be done with all your effort.

Fate of Photosynthetic Products PHOTOSYNTHESIS 1. Glucose used directly as 2. Sucrose in daylight, excess converted to in darkness, converts back to Glucose formed 3. Starch Reacts with Nitrates & Mineral Salts to form 4. Amino Acids used directly as Amino Acids 5. Proteins excess used as 6. Fats forms
Fate of Photosynthetic Products THE CARBOHYDRATES • Glucose • Cellular Respiration in the leaf • Cellulose Cell Wall • Sucrose • For transport out of the leaf to other storage organs • Starch • For storage directly in the leaf C C C C C C
Fate of Photosynthetic Products PROTEINS & AMINO ACIDS • Amino Acids • For building of protoplasm • Conversion to Proteins for storage. • Proteins • For building new protoplasm.
Fate of Photosynthetic Products FATS & LIPIDS • FATS • For building of protoplasm. • For storage. • For cellular respiration

O2 Photosynthesis: Where Are We Now? 2. Fates of Photosynthetic Products 3. How Mesophyll Cells Import Raw Materials into their Cytoplasm Carbohydrates Proteins Fats 1. How Gaseous Exchange is Controlled chlorophyll Light energy + 12 H2O + 6 CO2 C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O CO2
Water Uptake • From Roots to the Xylem in the Leaves • ..\Transport in Plants\transpiration.swf • From the Xylem in the Leaves to the Mesophyll Cells As photosynthesis proceeds, there is a net consumption of water in the mesophyll cells. This causes the water potential in the mesophyll cells to become more negative. Water from the xylem then enters the mesophyll cells by osmosis. chlorophyll Light energy + 12 H2O + 6 CO2 C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O
Carbon Dioxide Uptake • Photosynthesis lowers [CO2] in the cytoplasm of mesophyll cells. • Thin film of moisture surrounding mesophyll cells now has higher concentration ofdissolved CO2 than cytoplasm. • CO2 diffuses into mesophyll cell cytoplasm down concentration gradient. • Lowers [CO2] in thin film of moisture w.r.t. [CO2] in intercellular air spaces. • CO2 from intercellular air spaces diffuse into thin film of moisture. • Lowers [CO2] in intercellular air spaces wrt atmospheric [CO2] . • Atmospheric CO2 diffuses into intercellular air spaces through stomata. chlorophyll Light energy + 12 H2O + 6 CO2 C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O
