Photosynthesis Photo: light Synthesis: to make

Purpose: Convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into carbohydrates or sugar

Types of Organisms: Plants and some bacteria. They must have a cell part called a chloroplast.

Location in cell: chloroplast

Reactants-What is needed----Products-What is produced 1. CO 2 carbon dioxide 2. H 2 O water 3. sunlight 1.C 6 H 12 O 6 glucose 2. Oxygen O 2

Conversion of energy Light energy is converted to chemical energy

Chemical equation 6CO H 2 O + solar energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon dioxide water glucoseoxygen carbonhydrogen

Let’s check out photosynthesis in action! a/Spotlight/Detail/Simulation_- _Water_Weedhttp:// a/Spotlight/Detail/Simulation_- _Water_Weed

Excessive amounts of carbon dioxide emitted in this room today!

Cellular Respiration Purpose: To break down the glucose to get ATP

What is ATP? Adenosine Triphosphate

Types of Organisms: ALL organisms go through cell respiration because all organisms need energy.

Location in cell: mitochondria

Reactants-What is needed----Products-What is produced 1. CO 2 carbon dioxide 2. H 2 O water 3. Energy (ATP) 1.C 6 H 12 O 6 glucose 2. Oxygen O 2

Conversion of energy Chemical energy to chemical energy (glucose) (ATP)

Chemical equation C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO H 2 O + ATP glucose oxygen Carbon dioxide water

equation of photosynthesis and cell respiration The equations are opposites of each other. The reactants of one are the products of another.

Let’s practice your science skills! Students were studying the rate of photosynthesis in elodea plants. A data table of their results appears to the side. What is the ratio of the oxygen produced on day 1 compared to the total number of bubbles produced? DayBubbles of oxygen produced Total80 1/4
