Big Idea #2: Energy is needed to do stuff. Photosynthesis Big Idea #2: Energy is needed to do stuff.
Essential Knowledge 2A2: Organisms capture and store free energy for use in biological processes.
Producers: Phototrophs Use free energy solar radiation to produce sugar (PS) Plants, Algae (Phytoplankton), Bacteria
PS Occurs in Chloroplasts Found in all green parts Most abundant in mesophyll cells Chlorophyll: green pigment that captures free energy sunlight.
Chloroplast Structure Thylakoids are membrane-bound discs Outside fluid is called the stroma Contained in a double membrane
Chloroplast x5,755
Producers: Chemotrophs Capture free energy from small inorganic molecules (H2S) to produce sugars (chemosynthesis) Can occur w/out O2. Bacteria
Made foundation for eukaryotic PS. Evolution of PS Started in prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and created an oxygenated atmosphere. rRNA analysis Made foundation for eukaryotic PS.
