PPT-Carbon Cycle Photosynthesis

By E B Description of P hotosynthesis Photosynthesis enables plants to take in CO2 from the atmosphere and combine it with water Using the energy of the sun plants make sugar and oxygen molecules from the carbon dioxide. *. Photosynthesis. – process of capturing light . . energy. from the sun to convert water & CO. 2. . . into oxygen and high energy carbohydrates . (food, ex: glucose, starch, & other sugars). Autotrophs. :. Organisms that are capable of producing/creating their own food. Photoautotrophs. – sunlight drives the energy production process. Chemoautotrophs. – can extract energy from an inorganic substance. This . presentation . was prepared by the University of Melbourne for the Regional Landcare Facilitator training funded through the Australian Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative Communications Program . By . Ms. Megan Black. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of making food by plants. The essential ingredients in making this food are sunlight, the chlorophyll that is present in green plants, water and carbon dioxide in the air. . ∞. Plants and animals are linked for survival through the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle.. Photosynthesis. To undergo photosynthesis, plants need:. sunlight. water. carbon dioxide. Carbon Dioxide. Photosynthesis. November 17, 2009. A ___________ is a group of different species that live together in one area.. Community. Population. Organism. Ecosystem. Biome. O. 2 . represents. Glucose. Energy. Carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis. . Process. = plant cells use light energy to rearrange water and carbon dioxide molecules into sugar . molecules. Oxygen is a by-product (leftover, waste product). Energy now stored in the sugar. And Respiration of Plants. By: Annette Miles. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants turn energy from the ____ into _______ or _______________. . sun. glucose. carbohydrates. First, _______________ strikes the leaf, passes into the leaf, and hits a ______________ inside an individual cell. . Photosynthesis. . converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds through a series of reactions known as . biochemical pathways. . . Autotrophs. . use energy from sunlight or from chemical bonds in inorganic substances to make organic compounds. . What Is Carbon?. An element: 6 protons, 6 neutrons. The basis of life of earth . Found in all earth systems. Carbon Cycle. The same carbon atoms are used repeatedly on earth. They cycle between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and biosphere.. Greenhouse Gases and the Atmosphere. Certain gases in the atmosphere are good at absorbing and trapping heat. We refer to these at greenhouse gases (GHG). . These gases, make up a small segment of our atmosphere (1%) but have a big impact. . Refer to . pg. . 83-92 . in . Holtzclaw. , . Ch. 10 in Campbell and media resources. .

Energy is the ability to do work.. Your cells are busy using energy to build new molecules, contract muscles, and carry out active transport.. Without the ability to obtain and use energy, life would cease to exist.. C. 4 . Photosynthesis and CAM . Photosynthesis. 2. 3. Calvin Cycle Reactions:. Carbon Dioxide Fixation. CO. 2. is attached to 5-carbon RuBP molecule. Result in a 6-carbon molecule. This splits into two 3-carbon molecules (3PG).
