Storing sunlight in the chemical bonds of glucose
Make, or put together Light Photosynthesis Storing sunlight in the chemical bonds of glucose
3
Actual chloroplast micrograph
4
Pigments (color molecules, like chlorophyll in the chloroplast) “catch” sunlight.
5
Pigments (color molecules, like chlorophyll in the chloroplast) “catch” sunlight.
Organelles catch the raw materials Carbon Dioxide (CO2) & Water (H2O).
6
Pigments (color molecules, like chlorophyll in the chloroplast) “catch” sunlight.
Organelles catch the raw materials Carbon Dioxide (CO2) & Water (H2O). Enzymes convert CO2 & H2O into glucose (C6H12O6) using the “captured” energy.

Pigments (color molecules, like chlorophyll in the chloroplast) “catch” sunlight.
Organelles catch the raw materials Carbon Dioxide (CO2) & Water (H2O). Enzymes convert CO2 & H2O into glucose (C6H12O6) using the “captured” energy. The overall reaction is: CO2 + H2O + Sunlight Enzymes C6H12O O2
