1. Photosynthesis & Respiration, Day 120

2. Warm-Up: What is Happening Here? Turn to a neighbor and discuss...
What do you KNOW about this picture?
What do you WONDER about this picture?
What do you hope to LEARN about this picture?

3. Coral = consumer + producer living together (SYMBIOSIS)
The bleaching is the loss of the producer in the coral. What will happen to the coral as a result of this loss?

4. What do you think is causing this problem?

6. Why is the producer in the coral so important
Why is the producer in the coral so important? It performs PHOTOSYNTHESIS!
What parts of the picture on the left do you know?
What are their chemical formulae?

7. The chemical formula for PHOTOSYNTHESIS is:
CO2 + H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + O2
But wait...how many H’s are on the right?

8. The BALANCED chemical formula for PHOTOSYNTHESIS is:
_CO2 + _H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + _O2

9. What does a producer use the sugar (glucose) for?
Growth
Repair
Replacement of lost parts

10. Virtual Lab: Light & Plant Growth 21
Vocabulary: pigment
Record your data on the journal sheet provided. Glue into your notebook at the end of the period.

11. Reflection: Photosynthesis 22
Write out the balanced equation for photosynthesis, but color-code your C, H, and O in different colors. Use an icon for your sunlight.
Summarize the overall purpose of photosynthesis in one sentence.
Who does photosynthesis? Give at least 3 real-life examples.
Where does photosynthesis occur in a plant ‘body’? In a plant cell?
As an animal, if you could choose, would you rather perform photosynthesis or eat? Why?
