1 Photosynthesis

2 Photosynthesis

3 Which of the following is a product of photosynthesis?
Water Glucose Carbon Dioxide Sunlight

4 Oxygen and carbon dioxide Water and carbon dioxide
In addition to sunlight, what are the other reactants for the process of photosynthesis? Water and oxygen Water and glucose Oxygen and carbon dioxide Water and carbon dioxide

5 Pigments of Photosynthesis
Pigments are molecules that absorb specific wavelengths (energies) of light and reflect all others. Chlorophyll is the main pigment in charge of capturing the energy from sunlight.

6 Why do plants look green? THEY RELFECT GREEN LIGHT!!!
Chlorophyll a absorbs …………….. light best. Chlorophyll b absorbs ……………. light best. Why do plants look green? THEY RELFECT GREEN LIGHT!!!

7 Chloroplast Structure

8 Chlorophyll is a pigment in the chloroplast that
stores and releases energy absorbs sunlight Carries high energy electrons Makes glucose

9 Chloroplasts do not contain which of the following structures?
Mitochondria Thylakoids Stroma Chlorophyll

10 Predation Metabolism Cell Respiration Photosynthesis
What is the process in which autotrophs trap the energy from the sun and store this energy in molecules such as glucose. Predation Metabolism Cell Respiration Photosynthesis

11 1.Write down 3 observations of the diagram below.
2. Share with a partner. 3. Share with the class! Discuss!! H2O

12 Remember ATP?? Compound that cells use to store and release energy ATP
Adenosine triphosphate 3 phosphate groups ADP Adenosine diphosphate 2 phosphate groups Compound that cells use to store and release energy

13 Chemical Energy and ATP

14 Electron Carrier Molecule
Electron Carrier Molecules Compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them, along with most of their energy to another molecule One way the sunlight can be trapped in a chemical form and use it to build glucose for the plant cell Example: NADP+ = accepts and holds 2 high energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion (H+) When NADP+ accepts 2 electrons and a H+ it becomes NADPH

15 Photosynthesis: Step 1 – Light-Dependent Reaction
IN Sunlight Water ADP NADP+ OUT Oxygen ATP NADPH Takes place in Thylakoids. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy from the sun. Water is then split into hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). The oxygen is released to the atmosphere. Produces NADPH and ATP for the Calvin Cycle (step 2)! H2O

16 Photosynthesis: Step 2 – Light-Independent Reaction
OUT Carbon Dioxide ATP Glucose NADP+ NADPH ADP Takes place in Stroma. Also called the Calvin Cycle or Dark Reactions. CO2 (carbon dioxide) combines with hydrogen (H) to form C6H12O6 (glucose). The NADPH made in the light-dependent reactions provides the Hydrogen for the glucose The ATP made in light-dependent reactions provides the energy for the Calvin Cycle to occur.

17 What affects the rate of photosynthesis?
Amount of : - sunlight - CO2 - H2O - temperature All the reactions of photosynthesis are controlled by enzymes. Temperatures above or below the optimum temperature will slow down the chemical reactions.

18 GET YOUR CLICKERS!

19 Energy from the sun is collected during the:
Light-independent reactions Light-dependent reactions Thylakoid reactions Krebs Cycle

20 Glucose is created during this step of photosynthesis.
Light-independent reaction Light-dependent reaction Thylakoid reactions Krebs Cycle

21 Concentration of oxygen Concentration of carbon dioxide
Which of the following would not directly impact the growth of a plant? Spectrum of light Concentration of oxygen Concentration of carbon dioxide Availability of water Temperature

22 NADPH Sugars Hydrogen Ions ATP
Which of the following is NOT produced in the light-dependent reactions? NADPH Sugars Hydrogen Ions ATP
