III. Photosynthesis (Fig. 4-9)
5
What would slow down or even stop photosynthesis?
6
carbon dioxide + water + light energy
Photosynthesis carbon dioxide + water + light energy sugar + oxygen
7
III. Photosynthesis A. Kinetic energy (light) is changed to potential energy (sugar). B. Special pigments, organelles, and enzymes must be present.
8
B. Special pigments Chlorophyll is the primary pigment of photosynthesis a) Green
9
1. Chlorophyll c) located in chloroplasts
b)Used to power the process of photosynthesis c) located in chloroplasts
10
B. Special organelles 2. Chloroplast a) discussed in Ch. 3
11
B. Special enzymes 3. Changing carbon dioxide and water into sugar requires several different enzymes.
12
III. Photosynthesis C. Sugar molecules 1. Stores potential energy
2. Form some of the structural parts of cells
13
