  1. Chloroplasts The food producers of plant cells

  2. Plants are the basis for all life on Earth. They make… • Sugars • Oxygen

  3. Steps of Photosynthesis 1. Sun’s energy hits a chloroplast. Chloroplast = tiny structures in leaf cells

  4. 2. Chlorophyll (chemical inside chloroplasts) uses sun’s energy to… Combine Carbon Dioxide and Water. CO² + H²O +

  5. 3. Molecular reaction creates sugar and oxygen…

  6. Plant uses sugar for energy. • Byproduct Oxygen sent into atmosphere.

  7. Photosynthesis explained • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJxZH_Y5D4s&feature=related

  8. Chloroplast ultrastructure:1. outer membrane2. intermembrane space3. inner membrane (1+2+3: envelope)4. stroma (aqueous fluid)5. thylakoid lumen (inside of thylakoid)6. thylakoid membrane7. granum (stack of thylakoids)8. thylakoid (lamella)9. starch10. ribosome11. plastidial DNA12. plastoglobule (drop of lipids)
