1. Photosynthesis Autotrophs- make their own energy
Heterotrophs – have to consume energy

2. Cells use stored chemical energy
ATP – adenosine triphosphate
Adenine – nitrogen, Ribose – 5 C sugar, 3 Phosphates
Full Battery
ADP – adenosine diphosphate
– 2 phosphates
Half full battery

3. Notes 3.1 Summarize the overall process by which photo converts solar energy into chemical energy.
The ultimate source of energy for most life on earth is the sun. Photosynthesis is the overall process by which sunlight chemically coverts water and carbon dioxide into chemical energy stored in sugars (glucose).

4. carbon dioxide + water  sugar + oxygen
6CO H2O  C6H12O6 + 6O2
carbon dioxide + water  sugar + oxygen

5. Chlorophyll – main pigment in plants,
Green – chlorophyll a and b, Red – anthocyanins, Orange and Yellow – carotenoids.
Absorbs light very well in the blue and red, NOT in the green light.
Chlorophyll reflects green
In fall, when deciduous trees shed leaves to conserve energy, they stop photosynthesizing and true underlying colors, yellow, orange, red, are present.

9. Reactions of Photosynthesis
All processes of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast.
2 phases of photosynthesis:
1. light-dependent rxn
2. light-independent rxn (Calvin Cycle)

11. Light Dependent Rxn Requires light Within the thylakoid membrane
Solar energy is absorbs by chloroplast and 2 energy storing molecules ATP and NADPH are produced.
These are then used in the next phase.
The solar energy is used to split 2 water molecules which results in the release of oxygen as a waste product, an essential step in the process of photosynthesis.

14. 1. Where are these light dependent reactions occurring?
Figure Note: Reactions move from left to right on the figure, from photsystem II through the electron transport chain to photosystem I.
Questions:
1. Where are these light dependent reactions occurring?
2. Where is water broken down?
3. Where are two places chlorophyll absorbs the energy of sunlight?
4. Where and how is ATP produced in the process?
5. How is NADPH produced in the process?

15. Answers: Within the thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast.
Water is broken down on the inner surface of the thylakoid membrane.
In photosystem II and photosystem I.
ATP is produced as H+ ions pass thought ATP synthase, as shown to the right of photosystem I.
NADPH is produced when NADP+ picks up high-energy electrons from photosystem I at the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane.

16. Light Independent Rxn or Calvin Cycle or Dark Rxn
Requires no light
Occurs within the stroma (space outside the grana)

17. During the light independent rxn, energy stored in ATP and NADPH is used to produce glucose from carbon dioxide. These simple sugars are used to store chemical energy for use by the cell at later times.

19. Final products
Calvin cycle uses 6 CO2 to produce a single 6-carbon sugar molecule. (glucose)
ATP and NADPH are quick energy. Made in the light dependent rxn, but then fed into the Calvin Cycle and used to turn into higher energy for the cell to use. (Sugars and glucose)

22. Figure pg 120
Questions:
1. Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
2. What enters the Calvin cycle from the atmosphere?
3. Where do the ATP and NADPH come from?
What is the product of this cycle?
5. How is the cycle complete?

23. Answers 1. It take place in the stroma, outside the grana.
2. Six CO2 molecules.
3. Both STP and NADPH come from the light-dependent reactions.
Two 3-carbon molecules
5. The cycle is complete when the remaining 3-carbon molecules are converted back into 5-carbon molecules, which are ready to combine with new carbon dioxide molecules to begin the cycle again.
