Photosynthesis (8.2) State Standard SB3A. Explain the cycling of energy through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
8.2 Photosynthesis Overview Photosynthesis traps light (solar) energy & converts it to chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates (food). *Don’t forget – photosynthetic organisms must also break down some of those carbohydrates to form ATP for themselves.
8.2 Photosynthesis *Label the reactants & products in the equation below Overview cont’d The trapped light energy is used to convert the raw materials CO2 & H2O into carbohydrates & O2 PHOTOSYNTHESIS EQUATION
8.2 Photosynthesis Overview cont’d The key to absorbing light is a green pigment called chlorophyll, found in chloroplasts. Chloroplast Parts Thylakoid – looks like a pancake (flattened sac) Granum (pl. grana) – stack of thylakoids Stroma – space between grana – gel- like matrix
requires absorption of light energy. broad, flat leaves increase the amount of light that can be absorbed supports almost all life on Earth either directly or indirectly. converts light energy to chemical energy usually in the form of glucose (carb). Occurs in the chloroplasts. Overview cont’d 8.2 Photosynthesis Photosynthesis…
Cellular Energy Chapter 8 8.2 Photosynthesis Overview cont’d Photosynthesis occurs in 2 phases. • Light-Dependent reactions * also called light reactions * occur in the thylakoid membrane. * This is the photo part of photosynthesis. • Light-Independent reactions *also called the Calvin Cycle * occur in the stroma * This is the synthesis part of photosynthesis
Cellular Energy Chapter 8 8.2 Photosynthesis Part 1 Light Dependent Reactions • Location: Thylakoid • Splits water molecules • Produces power for the • Calvin Cycle
Products ATP NADPH (a high energy electron carrier) Oxygen (formed from the splitting of water by light) Where do they end up? ATP and NADPH go on to power the next group of reactions Oxygen is released out of the cell and we breathe it in. Part 1 Light DependentReactions Cont’d 8.2 Photosynthesis
Cellular Energy Chapter 8 8.2 Photosynthesis Part 2: The Calvin Cycle (Light-Independent) Location: Stroma • stores energy in organic molecules such as glucose. • powered by the products of • the light dependent • reactions
Uses carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere & energy from the light-dependent reactions to fuel its processes. Products: glucose or other sugars (which are stored) * some are used by the plant * others are used by heterotrophs Part 2: The Calvin Cycle (Light-Ind) cont’d 8.2 Photosynthesis
