What is the plant taking in?
What is the plant giving off?
The process of converting light energy into chemical energy
Location: Chloroplast/Chlorophyll
Reactants: Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Sunlight
Products: Oxygen O2 , Glucose Enzymes also required
Reactants Products
CO2+ H2O+ Sunlight Enzymes C6H12O6 + O2 Chlorophyll
CO2 = Carbon Dioxide C6H12O6 = Glucose
H2O = water O2 = Oxygen gas
*Balanced would be 6 CO2 12 H2O, and 6 O2
Which organelles do plants have that animals do not?
Where does the plant get the water?
Where does the plant get the carbon dioxide?
Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in
the chloroplast of a plant.
A pigment is a substance that absorbs light.
Chlorophyll absorbs energy from all light except the green portion—which it reflects.
Chlorophyll breaks down in colder temperatures and shorter days
Xanthophylls are red pigments Carotenes are yellow/orange
pigments
Process of converting glucose into energy for the cell (ATP)
Location: Mitochondria (Powerhouse)
Reactants: Oxygen O2 , Glucose Products: Carbon Dioxide, Water,
and ATP Enzymes also required
Reactants Products
C6H12O6 + O2 Enzymes CO2+ H2O+ ATP
ALL living organisms carry out Cellular Respiration to make energy for cells
PS and CR are OPPOSTIE reactions except Sunlight is Energy in PS and ATP is energy in CR.
ATP ADP + P Adenosine DiPhosphate
Chemical Bonds are where the energy is stored. Energy is released when BONDS are broken.
Example: Fuel does nothing in your car until it is ignited (bonds broken)
