PHOTOSYNTHESIS
What is the MAIN
purpose of photosynthesis?
PHOTOSYNTHESISWhat is the
MAIN purpose of
photosynthesis?To make:
GLUCOSE (food)
Carbon + Hydrogen + Oxygen
What organisms can make their own food?
What organisms can make their own food?
AUTOTROPHS (PRODUCERS)Example: Plants
What organisms must obtain their food?
What organisms must obtain their food?HETEROTROPHS (CONSUMERS)
Examples: Mushrooms, cows, bacteria, humans, fish, birds
• How is energy stored and released from ATP?
• Where is the chemical bond broken to release energy?
• How is energy stored and released from ATP?• Where is the chemical bond broken to release
energy?
Energy is stored in chemical bonds and released when bond is broken between 2nd & 3rd Phosphate groups.
1 2 3
Why is ATP compared to a battery?
ATP contains energy like a battery ADP + P (Uncharged Battery)
2 phosphate groups has low energy ATP (Charged Battery)
3 phosphate groups has high energy
What color wavelengths are best for photosynthesis?
What color wavelengths are best for photosynthesis?
VIOLET & BLUE
What is important about absorbed and reflected light?
Absorbed Light is
Used Light!!!
Green is reflected by
the green chlorophyll (pigment/protein)
Which kind of wavelength has more energy?
Longer?
or
Shorter?
Longer
or
Shorter
Which kind of wavelength has more energy?
What are pigments? What do pigments do?
What are pigments? What do pigments do?
Pigments are proteins!Pigments absorb light!
What makes plants green?
What makes plants green?CHLOROPHYLL (Pigment)
What are the 3 reactants in the photosynthesis chemical reaction?
Hint: 3 things to make a plant grow
• Sunlight• H₂O• CO₂
What are the 3 reactants in the photosynthesis chemical reaction?
What is the equation for photosynthesis?_____+ _____+ _____ → _______ + ___
REACTANTS → PRODUCTS
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
REACTANTS → PRODUCTS
What is oxygen in the photosynthesis process?
What is oxygen in the photosynthesis process? WASTE PRODUCT!!
Intentionally left blank
Who conducted the experiment that determined plant growth needed water and was important part
of photosynthesis equation?
CO2 + H₂O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
Van HelmontHint: “H” for H2O
CO2 + H₂O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2Van Helmont’s experiment concluded that the plant must
have gotten its additional mass from H2O since that was all that the plant received.
Who conducted the experiment that determined plants release oxygen (O₂) and was an important
part of the photosynthesis equation?
CO2 + H₂O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
Priestly
(Think: Priests put candles in churches)
Priestly found the plant released OXYGEN from his experiment keeping mouse and flame alive.
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O₂
Who conducted the experiment that determined plants need sunlight and was an important part of
the photosynthesis equation?
Potato is used as
the control
Ingenhouz Hint: think “light house”
Ingenhouz repeated Priestly’s experiment but tried it with and without sunlight to see if that was necessary. He found sunlight was an important part of photosynthesis.
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
Who conducted the experiment that determined that photosynthesis had a cycle that created glucose from CO₂ and
was an important part of the photosynthesis equation?
?
GLUCOSE
CO₂
Calvin
Calvin came up with the Calvin Cycle and showed how plants take ATP and NADPH to change CO2 →C6H12O6 (glucose)
CO2 + H2O → Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2
