Photosynthesis 8.1/8.2 Notes
Introduce gizmos
Gizmo lab

5. Energy and Life Energy is the ability to do work
Forms: light, heat, and electricity. Can be stored in chemical compounds.
ATP= adenosine triphosphate
Basic energy source for all cells
ADP= adenosine diphosphate
Only two phosphate groups, stores
energy

6. Uses Active transport (protein pumps) Synthesis of proteins
Responses to chemical signals

7. Heterotrophs and Autotrophs
Heterotrophs- obtain food by consuming other living things
Autotrophs- obtain food by making their own.
Photosynthesis- convert
light energy into chemical
energy

8. Chlorophyll Pigments- light-absorbing molecules
Chlorophyll- pigment in plant
Absorb light in the blue-violet and red regions
Reflect green light- that’s why they look green

9. Chloroplasts Chloroplasts- place where photosynthesis takes place
Thylakoids- saclike membrane, inside chloroplasts, arranged in stacks= grana

10. Electrons
Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll, transferred to electrons

11. Overview of photosynthesis
Reaction: 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide plus water, light- yields sugar and oxygen

12. Light-dependent reaction
First set of reactions- require direct involvement of light and light-absorbing pigments
Uses energy from the sun to produce ATP
Takes place in the thylakoid
Water required as source of electrons and H ions. Oxygen released as byproduct

13. Light-independent reaction
ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light reaction are used to produce sugars from CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere
Takes place in the stroma, liquid outside the thylakoid

14. Leaf structure/function
Thursday, Nov. 21
Review gizmos
Leaf structure/function
Stomata lab

15. Leaf Anatomy Location of Photosynthesis Veins- phloem and xylem
Guard cells-
allow CO2 in, O2
out.
