 On Whiteboard:  Write down the 4 ingredients for photosynthesis (that are included in the equation)  Then use those ingredients to help you write out the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.

 Title slide (name of your recipe or recipes)  Photosynthesis ingredients and steps  Cell Respiration ingredients and steps  Paragraph explaining your reasoning for ingredient choices and steps- now an essay see last slide of this powerpoint!  MINIMUM OF FOUR SLIDES (using above format)

With Chef Donald Tran

 Photosynthesis: The production of sugars (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll.  Energy Transformation: ◦ Electromagnetic energy (sunlight) is converted to Chemical energy (sugar)

THE INGREDIENTS  Light Energy (1000 joules)– from the sun  Water (6 cups) – gathered by the roots from soil  Carbon dioxide (6 cubic feet)– from the air  Chlorophyll (to taste) – found in the cells of green plants

THE PROCESS Step 1: Add some chlorophyll from the cells of plants to absorb light from the sun Step 2: Add the water so that the sun’s light energy can split the water into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen Step 3: Allow the mixture to sit so that the hydrogen joins with carbon dioxide to make sugar (glucose). Step 4: Cool overnight until the extra oxygen is released.

 Cell Respiration: The production of ATP from ADP using oxygen from breathing and sugar (glucose) from eating with the aid of the cell organelle mitochondria.  Energy Transformation: ◦ Chemical energy (sugar) is converted to Mechanical energy (cell processes = work)

THE INGREDIENTS  Chemical Energy (1 ounce) – from the sugar in the foods we eat  Oxygen (6 gallons)– taken in through the lungs  ADP (to taste)- natural A-P-P  Mitochondria (5-10 tablespoons)– organelles found in the cells of all living organisms (“powerhouse of the cell”)

THE PROCESS Step 1: Blend food until it gets broken down to just sugars (glucose) Step 2: Quickly add oxygen from the lungs and transfer to a bowl containing mitochondria Step 3: ADP is added to the mix which is converted to ATP in the mitochondria Step 4: The cells are full of ATP and are “charged” and ready to do work!

 Instead of explaining your recipe, you must answer the following question to fulfill this requirement: ◦ How can we explain the flow of energy through an ecosystem by discussing photosynthesis and cellular respiration as reverse processes? (How does energy move from the sun to a tertiary consumer; through what process is energy stored/released again)  To be turned in on loose paper or typed
