<strong>Photosynthesis</strong>


<strong>Photosynthesis</strong>:<br />

Life from Light and Air


Plants are energy producers<br />

Like animals, plants need energy to live<br />

unlike animals, plants don’t need to eat<br />

food to make that energy<br />

Plants make both FOOD & ENERGY<br />

animals are consumers<br />

plants are producers


How do plants make energy & food?<br />

Plants use the energy from the sun<br />

to make ATP energy<br />

to make sugars<br />

glucose, sucrose, cellulose, starch, & more<br />

sun<br />

ATP<br />

sugars


Building plants from sunlight & air<br />

<strong>Photosynthesis</strong><br />

2 separate processes<br />

ENERGY building reactions<br />

collect sun energy<br />

use it to make ATP<br />

SUGAR building reactions<br />

carbon dioxide<br />

CO 2<br />

take the ATP energy<br />

collect CO 2 from air &<br />

H 2 O from ground<br />

use all to build sugars<br />

+<br />

water<br />

H 2 O<br />

H 2 O<br />

sun<br />

CO 2<br />

C 6 H 12 O 6<br />

ATP<br />

sugars


Using light & air to grow plants<br />

<strong>Photosynthesis</strong><br />

using sun’s energy to make ATP<br />

using CO 2 & water to make sugar<br />

in chloroplasts<br />

allows plants to grow<br />

makes a waste product<br />

carbon<br />

dioxide<br />

oxygen (O 2 )<br />

+ water +<br />

sun<br />

energy<br />

(ATP) = used to build the sugar<br />

→ glucose + oxygen<br />

6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + sun C 6 H 12 O 6 6O<br />

energy → + 2


What do plants need to grow?<br />

The “factory” for making<br />

energy & sugars<br />

to synthesize sugars


Chloroplasts are only in plant cells<br />

animal cells<br />

plant cells<br />

What are these energy producing organelles?<br />

What is this energy producing organelle?


Chloroplasts<br />

Leaf<br />

absorb<br />

sunlight & CO 2<br />

ENERGY & SUGAR


So what does a plant need?<br />

Bring In<br />

light<br />

CO 2<br />

H 2 O<br />

Let Out<br />

O 2<br />

Move Around<br />

sugars<br />

leaves<br />

roots<br />

shoot<br />

6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + light C 6 H 12 O 6 6O<br />

energy → + 2


How are they connected?<br />

Respiration<br />

glucose + oxygen → carbon + water + energy<br />

dioxide<br />

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + ATP<br />

<strong>Photosynthesis</strong><br />

carbon<br />

dioxide<br />

+ water +<br />

sun<br />

energy<br />

→ glucose + oxygen<br />

6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + light C 6 H 12 O 6 6O<br />

energy → + 2
