Introduction to Plants

Photosynthesis: a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off.

Photosynthesis Leaves are green because they contain small bodies in the cells called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.

4.1 Photosynthesis 7.1.d Students know that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis.

Plants People and animals need oxygen to live. Green plants make the oxygen in the air we breathe. How do plants make oxygen? Plants take in carbon dioxide.

Sources of Energy All living things need energy All cells need energy to carry out their functions.

Overview: Energy from light is used to convert CO 2, H 2 O into sugar O 2 is a byproduct or “leftover” and is released Photosynthesis: In: 6CO 2 + 6H.

Leaf Reflectance & Absorption

“Pimple” Savanna forms from termite mounds in innundated tropical grasslands Leaf Reflectance & Absorption

Beltsville winter wheat

True & False Color Photos In true-color, grass and astroturf look similar; in the near-infrared, grass is more reflective grass astroturf astroturf grass True color film Color infrared film

Plant Pigments So, what absorbs in functioning leaves? None of the key pigments absorbs green light; instead it is reflected to our eyes, which makes plants look green to us.

Liquid Water Absorption Liquid Water Absorption Liquid water in plant leaves completes the absorption picture: leaves must be hydrated for photosynthesis

Green Leaf Structure

Dicot and Conifer Leaves Bean leaf x420 Pine needle x370

Maple & Pine reflectance Maple & Pine reflectance maple pine Similar in visible light, different in the near-IR

Leaf Reflectance & Absorption Reflectance = Absorption Banana x1400Cucumber x490

Leaf Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Determines Optical Properties Bean leaf x4200

Leaf Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Determines Optical Properties Must capture photons to drive chemical reactions (energy input) Must be in presence of H2O Must be in presence of CO2 Must get rid of O2 (poisonous) Must live in hostile setting…

Internal Leaf Structure Chloroplasts Intercellular air labyrinth CO 2 in & O 2 out

Leaf Reflectance & Absorption Photosynthesis requires CO 2 from atmosphere to be in contact with the plant cell surfaces. The intercellular labyrinth allows movement of CO 2 into leaves and O 2 out. Part of the “deal” is H 2 O is lost

Leaf Photosynthesis Stomata regulate gas exchange and water loss CO 2 in/O 2 out
