Chapter 6 and Review Photosynthesis

A process in which plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds (Carbohydrates). Photosynthesis

Organelle where the process of photosynthesis occurs. Chloroplast

Gives plants its green color by reflecting green light. Chlorophyll

Organisms that use energy from sunlight to make organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis. Autotrophs

What part of the photosynthesis process does this occur? light + 6 C O₂ + 6 H₂0 Reactant

What part of the photosynthesis process does this occur? C₆H₁₂0₆ + 6 0₂ Product

Process performed by: Plants and animals Glucose and oxygen --> water and carbon dioxide Process performed by: Plants and animals

Animals and organisms that consume other organisms to get energy. Heterotrophs

Where does Energy for life comes that is used in photosynthesis? Sun

Where does carbon atoms come from in the photosynthesis process? Carbon dioxide

Where does Oxygen atoms come from in the photosynthesis process? Water H2O

What is the energy used for that is produced in photosynthesis? Growth and reproduction Movement Transport material across the cell membrane

A product of photosynthesis that is used as an energy source by all living organisms. Glucose

chemical energy --> usable energy Energy Flow Light energy --> chemical energy --> usable energy

Energy Flow Sun --> Chlorophyll--> Glucose

Two stages of photosynthesis Light reaction Calvin Cycle

The reaction that produce organic compounds(carbohydrates). Calvin Cycle

Energy used in the Calvin Cycle comes from ATP and NADPH
