Name ___________________ Producers, ATP, and Photosynthesis Intro Part 1- Sunlight Powers Life Biological Classifications Heterotrophs (other eaters) Autotrophs (self feeder) They are also called Feed by the process of Photosynthesis Consumers Can only obtain food by They are also called Eating Producers or other Consumers Producers Most producers are Others are Plants (Land) Algae, Certain Bacteria (Live in Water) Consumers Depend On Producers Depend On The Sun Earth is Solar Powered
Both producers and consumers harvest energy stored in food by Cellular Respiration The products of photosynthesis are the chemical ingredients for cellular respiration, while the products of cellular respiration are the chemical ingredients for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis Overview Contain the pigment Chloroplast Chlorophyll (light absorbing pigment) Are located in the leaves’ Stoma(ata) Leaf opening which CO2 and O2 enter Mesophyll Which also contain Veins Storage and delivery in and out of the leaf Called Fluid Inside chloroplast Stroma (like cytoplasm) Suspended in the stroma is the Thylakoid Stacks if thykaloids Granum
What makes a chloroplast Green? Different forms of electromagnetic energy have different wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths have more energy than longer wavelengths The peaks represent energy that is absorbed by the chloroplast. Of the visible light striking this chloroplast, the green light is reflected and transmitted more than other colors, which are absorbed. As a result, a leaf containing chloroplasts appears green in color.
Photosynthesis occurs in two distinct stage The Light Reaction The Calvin Cycle (Dark Reaction) • The light reaction happens on the thylakoid membrane and happens in the presence of sunlight • The Calvin Cycle (dark reaction) happens in the stroma and does not require light
