Photosynthesis! And turns it into How a plant takes radiant energy from the sun Chemical Energy in the form of glucose

What is needed? Sunlight! Water Carbon Dioxide

What do I get? Glucose Oxygen

Put it all Together

Why do I need 6 Carbon Dioxides and 6 Waters? I need 12 hydrogens and 6 carbons!

Why am I doing it? To get out the glucose To get out ATP To build my cell, store food, get energy To get out ATP The battery pack of the cell

What is ATP? Adenosine Triphosphate

ATP is like a wallet full of money

When I break off the last phosphate, I get energy out It turns into ADP

ADP is like a wallet with no money

When I eat food, the last phosphate is added back on and I have a full wallet again

Two steps Light Dependent Reaction Light Independent Reaction AKA Dark Reaction AKA Calvin Cycle

Light Dependent Happens in thylakoid Radiant Energy from the sun is collected by chlorophyll Used to break water into hydrogen and oxygen Oxygen leaves the plant ATP is made NADPH is made This all leaves the thylakoid and moves to the stroma

Light Indenpendent Happens in stroma The cell sucks in CO2 The chloroplast uses the Hydrogen (from water), the CO2, the ATP and the NADPH to make a glucose ATP turns to ADP NADPH turns to NADP+ I can use these again!

Why is the light independent called the light independent reaction?

How does the cell get in the things that it needs for photosynthesis? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3 pefeywLAtg
