3. 1-10 1. How are heterotrophs and autotrophs different? Question of the Day

4. 1-10 Photosynthesis uses… Photosynthesis produces… Review Organisms that make their own energy = ??? Organisms that have to eat to get their energy = ??? 3 cellular activities that require energy = …

5. 1-10 Photosynthetic pigments … What colors does a plant primarily use for photosynthesis? How do you know? Review

6. Why is the sky blue? http://science.howstuffworks.com/nat ure/climate- weather/atmospheric/sky.htm http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/mi srsky/misr_sky.shtml

7. Photosynthesis  Light is absorbed – excites electrons in pigments = start of photosynthesis  Explain why a leaf appears green  Because it is absorbing most of the other wavelengths of light and reflecting green

8. Lets Photosynthesize!  It all starts with a….

9. Lets Photosynthesize! Calvin cycle 1 st stage 2 nd stage

10. Lets Photosynthesize!

11. LETS PHOTOSYNTHESIZE! Light reactions = first stage of photosynthesis – light energy is converted to chemical energy (energy from the sun  ATP + NADPH)

12. The Leaf  What organelle in the leaf is responsible for photosynthesis?  Chloroplast  Parts of a chloroplast  Thylakoids - Flattened sacs where photosynthesis occurs – surrounded by a membrane  Grana –  Stacks of thylakoids  Stroma –  Solution that surrounds the grana

15. The Light-Dependent Reactions: Generating ATP and NADPH  The light-dependent reactions encompass the steps of photosynthesis that directly involve sunlight.  The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids of chloroplasts.

16.  Thylakoids contain clusters of chlorophyll and proteins known as photosystems.  Photosystems absorb sunlight and generate high-energy electrons that are then passed to a series of electron carriers embedded in the thylakoid membrane. The Light-Dependent Reactions: Generating ATP and NADPH

17. Chloroplast

18. Light Reactions 1.Occurs on thylakoid membrane 2.Chlorophyll absorbs light and electrons get excited – flow on electron transport chain 3.Energy in excited electrons is used to create NADPH and ATP  These are temporary energy carrier molecules 4.Water – electron donor – releases O 2 5.ATP + NADPH are then used to create glucose in the Calvin Cycle

19.  Chlorophyll absorbs light and electrons are excited. These electrons flow on electron transport chain along the thylakoid membrane. As the electron is transported it loses some energy and is used create a H+ concentration gradient inside the thylakoid, which is later used to create ATP from ADP +P. The electron finally reaches the final electron acceptor and is combined with NADP+ and a H+ to form NADPH, which is an energy carrier molecule. Water is split to (2 H 2 O = 4H + + 4e - + O 2 ) to replace the lost electrons.

20. 1-11 1. During the light reactions ___ and ___ are used to make ___, ___, and ___. Question of the Day

21. One of the most important steps (water molecules split): 2 H 2 O = 4H + + 4e - + O 2 Light Reactions protons electrons oxygen
