1 Warm – Up 4/2  Under what conditions would a plant close the guard cells on its leaves?  Analyze why this is an important ability for plants.  (Hint: Think reactants and products for photosynthesis)

2 PHOTOSYNTHESIS

3 8.1Photosynthesis uses light energy to make food Site of photosynthesis in plants / contain CHLOROPHYLL, which absorbs light energy

4 Parts of a Leaf

5 8.1Chloroplasts A.Site of photosynthesis in plants B.Contain CHLOROPHYLL C.Absorbs light energy 2. THYLAKOIDS Saclike photosynthetic membranes (photosystems found inside) Light-collecting units of chloroplast (contain pigments and proteins) PHOTOSYSTEMS 3. STROMA Region outside thylakoid membranes (Calvin cycle occurs here) 6. GRANUM Stack of thylakoids 5. INNER MEMBRANE 4. OUTER MEMBRANE

6 8.1Photosynthesis Definition: Process of turning light energy from the sun into chemical energy 6CO 2 + 6H 2 0 + the sun’s energy  C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Carbon Dioxide Water Glucose Oxygen ENERGY STORED

7 8.1Photosynthesis: Overview LIGHT REACTION Requires Light Occurs in Thylakoids CALVIN CYCLE Links carbon atoms to make glucose Occurs in Stroma

8 8.1Photosynthesis: Overview LIGHT-DEPENDENT REACTIONS 1.Requires light 1.Uses energy from light to produce oxygen gas and energy carriers: ATP and NADPH by splitting water CALVIN CYCLE (Light Independent) 1.Does NOT require light 1.Uses ATP and NADPH from light-dependent reactions to produce high- energy glucose from CO 2. Glucose can be stored for a long time.

9 Light Dependent Reactions  Light excites electrons, which then travel down the ETC producing energy (NADPH and ATP)  Reactants – Water  Products – O 2 and Energy (ATP and NADPH)

10 Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reactions  CO 2 enters the Calvin Cycle and is added to a carbon chain with energy.  Additional Energy is used to modify the carbon chain and create carbohydrates (sugars)  Reactants – ATP, NADPH, and CO 2  Products – Glucose, ADP, and NADP +  Location – Stroma

11 Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction) Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction) 12 NADPH 12 12 ADP 12 NADP + 5-Carbon Molecules Regenerated 6 6 ADP

12 8.3Photosynthesis Summary Chloroplast Light H2OH2O O2O2 CO 2 Sugars NADP + ADP + P Calvin Cycle Light- dependent reactions Calvin cycle

13 Factors Affecting Photosynthesis Amount of H 2 O Temperature Intensity of Light
