  1. Photosynthesis

  2. I. Photosynthesis in Overview • Process by which plants and other autotrophs turn the energy of sunlight into sugars. Requires sunlight, water, and carbondioxide. • Overall equation:6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light  C6H12O6 + 6 O2 • Occurs in the leaves of plants in organelles called chloroplasts.

  3. Stoma Mesophyll Cell Chloroplast II. Plant Leaf Structure • Basic Leaf Structure • Stomata (Stoma) • Mesophyll Cell • Chloroplasts

  4. Oxygen (O2) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) II. Plant Leaf Structure • B. Basic Leaf Structure • Stomata (Stoma)are pores in a plant leaf surface through which water and gases are exchanged between the plant and the atmosphere.

  5. Nucleus CellWall Chloroplast Central Vacuole II. Plant Leaf Structure • Basic Leaf Structure • 2. The mesophyll cell is a cell found on the surface of a leaf.

  6. II. Plant Leaf Structure • Basic Leaf Structure • 3. Chloroplasts are tiny organelles within the plant cell where photosynthesis takes place.

  7. III. Photosynthetic Process • Plants take in carbondioxide (CO2) • Plants take in water (H2O) • Plants absorb light (Light) • Sugar (plant food) is created (C6H12O6) • Oxygen is produced and released (O2) • 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light  C6H12O6 + 6 O2
