Humans cells use a supply of energy to stay alive. The energy is provided by a high-energy molecule called ATP (energy currency). Energy In. A - P - P + P. A - P - P - P. Energy Out. ADP + P. ATP. But…WHERE DID THE ATP COME FROM?.

But…WHERE DID THE ATP COME FROM? The answer is that ATP is made in our cells using the energy from FOOD.

Q. HOW DOES FOOD GET THE ENERGY THAT WE USE? FROM THE SUN. A. THE PROCESS IS CALLED PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
GREEN PLANTS ARE ABLE TO CAPTURE RADIANT ENERGY (LIGHT) FROM THE SUN, AND GREEN PLANTS CAN CONVERT THE RADIANT ENERGY INTO CHEMICAL ENERGY (FOOD).
THE PROCESS CARRIED OUT BY GREEN PLANTS IS: PHOTOSYNTHESIS THE CONVERSION OF RADIANT ENERGY TO CHEMICAL ENERGY DEPENDS ON THE PIGMENT MOLECULE: CHLOROPHYLL
Photosynthesis SUN H2O + CO2 C6H12O6+ O WATER + CARBON GLUCOSE + OXYGEN DIOXIDE

WHAT DOES CHLOROPHYLL DO? IT ABSORBS THE ENERGY OF LIGHT Light energy raises an electron to a higher energy level e- WHITE LIGHT (SUN) CHLOROPHYLL Chlorophyll absorbs RED and BLUE light. GREEN light bounces off.
1. ADDING ELECTRONS AND HYDROGENS TO A MOLECULE IS CALLED REDUCTION. 2. REMOVING ELECTRONS AND HYDROGENS FROM A MOLECULE IS CALLED OXIDATION. 3. OXIDATION AND REDUCTION ARE ALWAYS COUPLED TOGETHER. (AN ELECTRON COMES FROM ONE MOLECULE AND IS GIVEN TO ANOTHER.
The electron is donated to a molecule, NADP(the vitamin Niacin) The NADP is REDUCED to form NADPH NADP WHITE LIGHT (SUN) NADPH (e-) (e-) CHLOROPHYLL
