TOPIC: Plants Aim: Explain the process of photosynthesis. Do Now: Explain the two types of nutrition. HW:
Photosynthesis Process in which LIGHT energy is converted into CHEMICAL energy (food) Autotrophic nutrition
Occurs in chloroplasts
–Contain chlorophyll = green pigment that absorbs light A B C F E D
Equation Carbon + dioxide wateroxygen glucose + water + light Chlorophyll light 6CO 2 +12H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 +6H 2 O +6O 2 Chlorophyll (food) (wastes)
Light nth/action.htmlhttp:// nth/action.html Most effective: blue & red –Easily absorbed
Least effective = green –reflected
What is the glucose used for? Respiration (aerobic) Glucose ATP
Why are plants important to living things?
1. Produces food for itself & all other organisms (food chains)
2. Removes CO 2 from the air & adds O 2
