1. TOPIC: Plants
Aim: Explain the process of photosynthesis.
Do Now: Natural Selection #7 (in your Natural Selection reading notes)
HW: Section labeled HOMEWORK at the end of today’s reading notes.
Tropisms Reading Notes due Friday.
CL Castle Learning due Wednesday, April 1st.

2. 7. There are 3 types of polar bears: one with thick coats, one with thin coats and one with medium coats. It is fall, soon to be winter. The temperature is dropping rapidly and the bears must remain warm or they will freeze to death. Many of the bears have approximately 2 cubs (baby bears) each but due to extreme temperatures, many mothers only have 1 cub left.
Identify the bears that natural selection selected AGAINST and support your answer.
The bears with the thin coats were selected against because they cannot adapt to the cold temperature and, as a result, they die.

3. Survival of the fittest:

b. Identify the points of Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection below from the scenario above.
Variation:
Overproduction:
Competition:
Survival of the fittest:
Bears with thin, medium and thick coats
Bears have 2 cubs
Cubs compete for resources (warmth)
Bears with the thicker coat have the favorable adaptation because they can withstand the extreme temperatures. They survive, reproduce and pass on the trait to offspring.

4. c. Describe which bears would have greater population in the spring
c. Describe which bears would have greater population in the spring. Support your answer. In the spring, the population of bears with thinner coats would be greater because they can adapt to the warmer weather. Bears with the thick fur may overheat and die.

6. What can cause extinction?
Very little variation in a species
major environmental change
adaptation no longer favorable
all organisms die = extinction
What can cause extinction?

7. Contrast autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition.

8. 1. Identify the meaning of the prefix photo-.
LIGHT
1. Identify the meaning of the prefix photo-.

9. 2. Identify the meaning of the suffix synthesis.
Putting things together
2. Identify the meaning of the suffix synthesis.

10. 3. Describe what occurs during the process of photosynthesis.
Plant takes water from the soil and CO2 from the air and combines them using energy from sunlight.
Light energy is converted to chemical energy
3. Describe what occurs during the process of photosynthesis.

11. 4. Identify the cell organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
Chloroplasts
4. Identify the cell organelle where photosynthesis occurs.

12. 5. Explain the function of chlorophyll.
Green pigment
Interacts with sunlight to split H2O and CO2
ABSORBS SUNLIGHT

14. Some of the best sources of chlorophyll I’ve found are in raw: bell peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, green cabbage, celery, collard greens, kale, parsley, romaine lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, and turnip greens

15. A B F C E D

17. 6. Identify the raw materials for photosynthesis.

21. 10. Explain the importance of glucose.
Used to produce energy
Stored as starch

22. 11. Explain the importance of oxygen.
Used to cellular respiration

24. Equation for photosynthesis
light
Carbon + dioxide
water
glucose +
oxygen
+ water
Chlorophyll
(food)
CO2
H2O
(wastes)
C6H12O6
H2O O2

26. 1. Describe what a pigment is.
Substance that reflects a part of the visible spectrum and absorbs the rest.

32. 2. Explain why a plant looks green.
Green light is reflected.
The rest of the visible light is absorbed.

33. Red and blue
3. Identify the colors of the visible spectrum that are most effective for photosynthesis.

34. 4. State 4 differences between photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.

35. H2O and CO2 are raw materials
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
Energy is stored.
Energy is released.
H2O and CO2 are raw materials
C6H12O6 and O2 are raw materials
C6H12O6 and O2 are products
H2O and CO2 are products
Takes place in chloroplasts
Takes place in mitochondria

36. Carbon dioxide B A
Oxygen C
ATP

39. Let’s review…
Identify the raw materials of photosynthesis.
Identify the cell organelle where photosynthesis occur.
Identify the life process that the glucose produced used for.
Describe one difference between photosynthesis and cell respiration.

40. Identify the common ancestor.
Identify the species that have become extinct. Why did these species become extinct?

41. Fossil records indicate that between 80 and 60 million years ago the structure of the horned dinosaur underwent rapid changes separated by long periods of stability. This pattern of change best illustrates the concept of
use and disuse
(2) punctuated equilibrium
(3) gradualism
(4) enzyme specificity

42. Which concept is not a part of the theory of evolution?
(1) Present-day species developed from earlier species.
(2) Some species die out when environmental changes occur.
(3) Complex organisms develop from simple organisms over time.
(4) Change occurs according to the needs of an individual organism to survive.
