1. Photosynthesis

2. What do you think of when you hear the word radiation?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation
The difference in types of radiation is that they have different wavelengths
Sunlight contains all pigments of visible light
In plants, light energy is harvested by pigments that are located in the thylaloid membrane of chloroplasts

3. Electromagnetic Spectrum

5. Photosynthesis occurs in 2 stages
Light dependent phase
2. Light independent phase

6. Light Dependent Phase Occurs in the thylakoid Uses water and light
Produces ATP, NADPH, and Oxygen

8. Light Independent phase
Occurs in the stroma
Uses ATP, NADPH, and Carbon Dioxide
Produces Sugar
