2
Photosynthesis Organisms make food using light energy
3
many kinds of organisms carry out photosynthesis Blue-green algae bacteria Multicellular plants
4
Plants provide food for animals, and us, too
5
Photosynthesis Needs co 2 & h 2 o Needs light energy Makes sugar Makes o 2 leaf
6
Photosynthesis equation 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Complex carbohydrates, proteins, fats, amino acids, enzymes, coenzymes, pigments
7
Light Energy – The the part we can see and the plants use!
8
PLANT PIGMENTS ABSORB CERTAIN WAVELENGTHS OF THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM (SUNLIGHT) Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b phycoerythrin phycocyanin Beta-carotene
9
Plants are green because they reflect the green wavelengths and absorb (and use) the others. Your favorite blue shirt is blue because it reflects blue wavelengths and absorbs the other wavelengths …. Plants reflect green wavelengths.
10
The leaf is the primary photosynthetic organ of the plant
11
Leaves take in CO 2 while roots take in H 2 O
12
Chloroplasts are found in the cells of the leaf and other photosynthetic parts of the plant
13
Green plant cells contain chloroplasts
14
Photosynthesis occurs all day Photosynthesis occurs as long as light is available
15
Photosynthesis and respiration are interdependent upon each other – plants carry out both processes
17
goodnight
19
All organisms need energy
20
Why do we need energy? To Grow To Move To Reproduce ETC.
21
Respiration provides energy from food
22
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen
23
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP Glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + ATP Respiration occurs in the Mitochondria of Cells Aerobic Respiration Equation
24
Aerobic Respiration has three major steps 1 2 3 34-36 ATP
25
Respiration provides Energy from food so we can:
