5. As in cellular respiration, the chemical equation for photosynthesis summarizes several reaction steps

6. Overall equation for photosynthesis CHLOROPLAST

9. The two main stages of photosynthesis are: the light reactions, which occur in the thylakoids, and the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions), which occurs in the stroma

10. Different forms of electromagnetic energy have different wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths have more energy than longer wavelengths

11. A substance’s color is due to chemical compounds called pigments Most plants do not absorb green color, they reflect it Absorbed light

12. Types of pigments in plants Chlorophyll a: Absorbs mainly blue-violet and red light and reflects mainly green light Chlorophyll b: Absorbs mainly blue and orange light and reflects yellow-green Carotenoids: Absorb mainly blue-green light and reflect yellow-orange.

13. Harvesting Light Energy - Photosystems

14. Photosystem model Chlorophyll 1 Chlorophyll 2 Chlorophyll 3 (Reaction-center Chlorophyll) Primary Electron Acceptor Water Molecule Light source

16. The light energy boosts the electrons up to their excited states

17. The Calvin Cycle

18. By converting light energy to chemical energy, photosynthesis is the first step in the flow of energy through an ecosystem.

21. Compare contrast

22. Snail & elodea Investigation Bromylthymol blue is blue in the absence of CO 2 and is yellow to clear when CO 2 is present. Do snails give off CO 2 ? Do snails give off CO 2 in the dark? Does elodea give off CO 2 ? Does elodea give off CO 2 in the dark?

23. ELODEA, SNAILS, & CO 2 LIGHT DARK

24. Analysis questions 1. How do snails affect the level of CO 2 in the test tubes? 2. How does Elodea affect the level of CO 2 in the test tubes? 3. What is the purpose of test tube #4? 4. Which of the test tubes is an example of a balance system? Why? 5. How do you explain the difference in color (if any) between the test tubes kept under the light, and the ones in the dark? (Compare #1in the light with #1in the dark, and so on)

25. Tube contents Prediction: What color do you think the tube will be after 24 hours? Observations: Actual color of tube after 24 hours.
