Figure 10.1 Photosynthesis • Is the process that uses solar energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into chemical energy (Carbohydrates –sugars and starches)
Plants are autotrophs or producers • Because they have the ability to make their own food. 2 Types of producers or autotrophs • Photosynthesis • Chemosynthesis- bacteria
Photosynthesis Occurs in • Plants 2. Algae – Phytoplankton 3. Protist- Single cell organisms living in pond water 4. Prokaryotes - Bacteria
Heterotrophs • Obtain their energy from other organisms by eating them • Are the consumers of the biosphere
Three things are need by plants for photosynthesis • Water • Carbon dioxide • Sunlight
Leaf cross section Vein Mesophyll CO2 O2 Stomata Chloroplasts: Are the Sites of Photosynthesis in Plants
Mesophyll Chloroplast 5 µm Outer membrane Thylakoid Intermembrane space Thylakoid space Granum Stroma Inner membrane 1 µm
Structure of the chloroplasts • Thylakoids- disk shaped structure - Chlorophyll is found here Chlorophyll- this absorbs the light - acts like a solar panel - two types a and b
Reactants: 12 H2O 6 CO2 6 H2O 6 O2 C6H12O6 Products: Figure 10.4
The energy comes from the sun • light energy is used to power chemical reactions that combine water with the air's carbon dioxide to form starchy carbohydrate (written on board)
LIGHT • Is a form of electromagnetic energy, which travels in waves
Wavelength Is the distance between the crests of waves
Wavelength is important • Because it determines the type of electromagnetic energy
1 m 106 nm 10–5 nm 106 nm 1 nm 10–3 nm 103 nm 103 m Micro- waves Radio waves Gamma rays X-rays UV Infrared Visible light 380 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 nm Shorter wavelength Longer wavelength Lower energy Higher energy Figure 10.6 The electromagnetic spectrum
The visible light spectrum • Includes the colors of light we can see
ROY G BIV • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
Pigments ● Are substances that absorb visible light • Chlorophyll is the main pigment that absorbs certain wavelengths of light
Light Reflected Light Chloroplast Absorbed light Granum Transmitted light Figure 10.7
What does that graph tell you? • Chlorophyll a and b absorbs • 1. Blue • 2. Violet • 3. Red
How Do CELLS USE ENERGY? 1. ACTIVE TRANSPORT 2. Endocytosis 3. Exocytosis Animation from:
5. Reproduction • 6. Movement
CELLS USE ATP TO STORE and RELEASE ENERGY Adenosine triphosphate
3 ____ PHOSPHATE GROUPS Adenosine triphosphate ATP = __________________________
ATP can change into ADP 2 ____ PHOSPHATE GROUPS Adenosine diphosphate ADP = __________________________
http://www.cat.cc.md.us/~gkaiser/biotutorials/energy/adpan.htmlhttp://www.cat.cc.md.us/~gkaiser/biotutorials/energy/adpan.html ATP releases energy stored in a high energy chemical bond by removing the phosphate and becoming ADP ATP→ ____ + ____ + ADP
Cells ________ energy by adding the phosphate back on to ADP to make ATP. STORE The energy to do this comes from ____________ like _____________ FOODS GLUCOSE It’s like recharging the battery ! ADP+ ___ + ________ → ___ ATP
