Name some common producers › Plants, algae, some protists, cyanobacteria Define photoautotroph › An organism that uses light energy to produce food Define chemoautotroph › An organism that uses chemical energy to produce food

4
State the organelle of photosynthesis › Chloroplast Where are chloroplasts concentrated in plants? › The green tissue on the interior of the leaf › Mesolphyll

6
Explain how gases are exchanged between the plant and the environment. › Stoma are openings in the epidermis of leaves › Guard cells surround the stoma and they regulate the opening & closing of the stoma › When open, CO 2 can enter while O 2 and H 2 O can exit

1950’s – scientists used heavy isotope of oxygen ( 18 O) to follow oxygen through photosynthesis. Tagged oxygen of CO 2 and found no tagged O 2 given off Tagged O 2 of H 2 O and found tagged O 2 given off
9
Reactants: Fig. 10-4 6 CO 2 Products: 12 H 2 O 6 O 2 6 H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6
10
Equation › 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O Light C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Redox reaction of photosynthesis › Oxidized: H 2 O to O 2 › Reduced: CO 2 to C 6 H 12 O 6
11
Photosynthesis consists of the light reactions (photo – absorbs light energy) and the Calvin cycle (synthesis – makes sugar)
12
Light Reactions Calvin Cycle Takes place in the thylakoids Split H 2 O Release O 2 Reduce NADP+ to NADPH Produce ATP via photophosphorylation Takes place in the stroma Forms sugar using › CO 2 from atmosphere › ATP and NADPH from light reactions Starts with carbon fixation
