  1. Cell EnergyPhotosynthesis

  2. What do you know about photosynthesis? • Answer the true/false questions using your prior knowledge about photosynthesis.

  3. ____ 1. Photosynthesisis important because it uses excess oxygen in the atmosphere. F

  4. ____ 2. Photosynthesis creates energy. F

  5. ____ 3. Photosynthesis stores energy in the bonds of glucose. T

  6. ____ 4. Water is a necessary ingredient for photosynthesis. T

  7. ____ 5. Carbon dioxide is produced by photosynthesis. F

  8. ____ 6. The gasoline used to drive to school today is ultimately the result of photosynthesis. T

  9. ____ 7. Chlorophyll, contained in the mitochondria, traps light energy for photosynthesis. F

  10. Photosynthesis • …the process through which plants convert light energy to chemical energy in order to produce food • The energy involved in photosynthesis is stored in the chemical bonds of carbohydrates.

  11. Photosynthesis Equation H2O + CO2 C6H1206 +O2 (water) + (carbon dioxide)  (glucose) + (oxygen) A balanced equation… 6H2O + 6CO2C6H12O6 + 6O2

  12. Chloroplast • Located inside leaf cells • Capsule-shaped organelle • Contained by two membranes

  13. Chloroplast Parts • Thylakoids: disk-shaped vesicles stacked inside the chloroplast • Granum: a stack of thylakoids • Stroma: liquid material inside the chloroplast • Chlorophyll: pigment located inside the thylakoid; gives plants their green color

  14. Photosynthesis • 2 parts of photosynthesis – light dependent and light independent • Light dependent uses sunlight to make ATP • Light independent uses that ATP to make Glucose (CALVIN CYCLE)
