2
Photosynthesis Process in which light energy converts inorganic compounds into chemical energy of organic compounds (food)
3
Form of autotrophic nutrition
4
Equation Carbon + dioxide water oxygen glucose + water + light Chlorophyll light 6CO 2 +12H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 +6H 2 O +6O 2 Chlorophyll http://www.kscience.co.uk/animations/photosynthesis.swf (wastes)
5
Where does Photosynthesis occur? Cells of leaves
6
Cells that contain chloroplast which contains chlorophyll a green pigment that absorbs light
10
Autotrophs perform photosynthesis. Include most plants, some bacteria & protists (algae) Include most plants, some bacteria & protists (algae) Capable of synthesizing organic materials from inorganic raw materials Ultimate source of energy = Sun (a) Mosses, ferns, and flowering plants (b) Kelp (c) Euglena (d) Cyanobacteria THE BASICS:
11
Organelle : Occurs in the CHLOROPLAST Raw materials : Carbon dioxide & Water Products : Glucose & Oxygen gas Plants use some Glucose for their own energy– and store excess as STARCH THE BASICS:

Review
13
video Raw materials/ reactants Products
14
Leaf is the photosynthetic organ of the plant
15
What happens during photosynthesis?
16
2 PARTS 1. Light dependent reactions Photochemical reactions
17
Chlorophyll traps light causing Water to split into H and O H 2 O H 2 + O
18
Oxygen (waste) exits through stomata Hydrogen = used for next part H 2 O H 2 + O Oxygen (air)
19
2. Light – Independent reactions Dark reactions Carbon fixation No light needed
20
CO 2 and H combine to form glucose CO 2 + H Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 )
21
What are the gas bubbles produced by the plant? Which of the 2 reactions produced these bubbles, the light or the dark?
22
Best color light for photosynthesis Blue & red Easily absorbed
23
Least effective = green (reflected)
24
What is the glucose used for? Respiration (making energy) Glucose ATP
25
Stored as starch
28
Do plants carry out respiration? Yes in order to produce energy Aerobic Respiration Occurs in mitochondria
30
Do you recall? Which organelle is the site of autotrophic nutrition? What are the two raw materials necessary for a plant to perform photosynthesis? Analyze this reaction is it dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis?
33
A C B DO NOW: Copy and complete the chart below and answer the question below. Why is photosynthesis an important process to all living things?
34
Reverse of photosynthesis
35
Produces food (source of energy) for itself & all other organisms
37
ROOTS STOMATA LEAVES VASCULAR TISSUE/BUNDLE
38
the root is the organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soil The two major functions of roots are ROOTS 1.) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients 2.) anchoring the plant body to the ground
39
ROOT HAIRS Increase surface area for absorption of water and nutrients
40
STOMATA (stomate; singular) is a pore found in the leaf and stem epidermis that is used for gas exchange Guard cells which are responsible for regulating the size of the opening
41
LEAVES A leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis
42
Adaptive Features of Leaves Flat and thin to increase surface area for light exposure Stomata on the lower surface Cuticle for protection
44
Chloroplasts Palisade Layer Spongy Layer Epidermis Stomate and guard cells Cuticle
47
CUTLICLE Prevents contamination of plant tissues with external water, dirt and microorganisms Creates a waterproof membrane
48
VASCULAR TISSUE
49
VASCULAR TISSUE/BUNDLE Contains Xylem and Phloem tubes Tubes that are used to transport materials around plant Xylem transports water from the roots Phloem transports food (glucose)
50
Review:
52
Abiotic = nonliving part of ecosystem (ex. minerals, water, temperature)

69
plateau At low CO 2 concentration, rate is positively correlated with concentration As amount of available CO2 increases, photosynthesis increases until a point, then it levels off.
70
plateau As the amount of available light increases, the rate of photosynthesis increases - then it levels off.
71
Increased temp. gives increased energy and increased rate of photosynthesis Optimum temperature Above the optimum temp., enzymes are denatured and rate drops steeply. Which enzymes are used in respiration? As temperature increases, rate of photosynthesis increases to a point… Above 35 C the rate rapidly decreases… WHY???
72
Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
73
True or False: Photosynthesis occurs during the day-time ONLY!
74
True or False: As the temperature increases, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.
75
True or False: Oxygen and water are the raw materials for the process of photosynthesis.
76
True of False: Photosynthesis is a process performed by autotrophs in which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
77
This term refers to the complex carbohydrate that plants store their excess sugar as?
78
What is the least effective color of light for plants to do photosynthesis in? Why?
79
True or False: Guard Cells are holes in the surface of a leaf which allow the passage of oxygen gas.
80
