Dive into the world of plants, exploring gymnosperms vs. angiosperms, monocots vs. dicots, and the intricate processes of photosynthesis. Learn about light-dependent and light-independent reactions, chloroplasts, and the cycle of growth for plants.

Ok soooo how are we feeling… …before we get into the hard stuff??
Plant and Leaf • What is the difference between a gymnosperm and an angiosperm? • What are the differences between a monocot and a dicot? Are they (monocots and dicots) gymnosperms or angiosperms? • What are the two systems of a plant? How do they communicate with each other? • What is the evolutionary relationship between terminal buds and auxillary buds? • What are the four whorls of a flower? What are their functions? • What is the relationship between a sporophyte and a gametophyte? • What is the cycle of growth for an annual? Perennial? Biennial? • How does carbon dioxide get into the plant? • How does a plant avoid losing its needed water?
Light Dependent Reactions Non Cyclic Video
Light Dependent Reactions • Goal of light energy is to create ATP and NADPH to power the light independent reaction. The key to forming is the flow of energy through the PS. There are 2 routes, the cyclic and the noncyclic. The noncyclic is the predominant.
Light Dependent Reaction Outside Thylakoid A A Thylakoid Membrane NADP+ ADP Photosystem ___ Photosystem ___ Electron Transport Chain + Inside the Thylakoid Stroma for Calvin Cycle
And now…Light Independent • Uses ATP and NADPH (produced in LDR) • Regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle • What enters?? • Carbon Dioxide • What leaves?? • Sugar (G3P-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)
