How autotrophs (plants) manufacture their own food Photosynthesis How autotrophs (plants) manufacture their own food

What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophs manufacture their own food (glucose) using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

Energy Conversion During the process of photosynthesis, light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy that can be stored and transported in plants.

Requirements for Photosynthesis Chlorophyll or other pigment (found in autotrophs) Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere Water (H2O) from the soil or atmosphere Light, usually as solar energy from the sun CO2 Photosynthesis

Products of Photosynthesis Glucose (C6H12O6) - sugar Oxygen gas (O2)

Chemical Equation 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 light dioxide carbon + water glucose + oxygen dioxide In the presence of light energy, six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water to produce one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.

Factors Affecting the Rate of Photosynthesis 1. Light intensity (very high intensity can damage the chlorophyll) 2. Availability of raw materials (CO2, H2O) 3. Temperature (optimum is 25 -35ºC)

Site of Photosynthesis: The Chloroplast Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It primarily occurs in the leaves.

Structure of a Chloroplast Thylakoids are the saclike membranes that contain chlorophyll. A granum is a stack of thylakoids The stroma is the liquid-filled space inside the chloroplast. granum stroma thylakoids

Two phases of Photosynthesis Light-dependent phase Light-independent Phase (Calvin Cycle)

1. Light-Dependent Phase (take place in thylakoids) a. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and changes into ATP. b. Some ATP is used to split the water molecule (H2O) into hydrogen & oxygen. c. Oxygen (O2) is released into the atmosphere.

Light-Independent Phase (Calvin Cycle) – takes place in stroma May happen in the light or in the dark a. ATP (from previous phase) and hydrogen (from the water molecule that was split) combine with CO2 (from the atmosphere). b. The end result is glucose: C6H12O6
